After days of trawling google etc i turn to the Singletrack Uni-mind.
Need help setting up a simple home network with a few linux & os x machines.
I have 1 linux Box, and 1 imac. Both connect to internet via Wifi Router. And can connect to each other via Wifi router. No problems.
However, i want to connect both these to a file server via wired ethernet. Standard set ups wont let me connect to internet via wifi card AND connect to file server via ethernet at same time.
I know the following;
a. i have to set up Routing on the Linux Box and imac to allow simultaneous use of wifi AND ethernet.
b. wifi cards and ethernet cards must use different subnet adresses (e.g, wifi = 255.255.255.0, eth0 = 255.255.0.0)
I am ok with using terminal in osx and linux but cant manage to get clear info to set this up right.
Anyone help?
cheers
