The thing to keep in mind though, is that they...

Okay so far the tutorials I have seen indicate you need 2 nics on the server machine to set it up as a router although it maybe possible to do it with just 1. Since that is a laptop you might want to...

Okay after looking at your setup again I didn't notice that you were not using a router. I am using a 4 port adsl router/modem in mine. I have never tried it the way you have it diagrammed. Hmm, let...

Hi, I have one question. What machine is the ip 10.111.106.4 to? Is it your server or a specific workstation? I just want to get some clarification on which ip address belongs to which machine before...

After looking at your files, I noticed in your named.conf.local this:

zone "trintranet.com" IN {

I do not think the IN is...

Same here on my file server. I use nfs for linux and samba for windows for dishing out a user's home directory. I have not had any issues with it so far. As far as a remote connection, I remotely...

It appears as if you are creating a node for storing users in your ldap named Users. If so, than that should be ou=Users not cn=Users.
Take another look at the tutorial from the first linik you...

The server edition does not come with a desktop GUI. It uses a command line interface. You can install one but it is not recommended. For what reasons did you install the server edition for?
