so after an upgrade i have a spare circa-2011 computer in one of those tiny Shuttle cases that i want to stick next to my router and turn into a network backup device and linux ISO streaming solution. microsoft thinks i'm a college student through march so I have access to all the server OSes through MSDNAA. nothing on my network is pre-windows 7. did they ever de-stupid server 2012?

I have 8 identical machines onto which I need to load windows XP (lol) and fully update it and stuff. these computers all have OEM product keys. since I can change the product key after it's installed, I want to fully load one PC with everything I need, make a disk image out of the hard drive, and then write that image to seven more hard drives. what program would I use for that?

do Seagate external hard drives still fall apart? Amazon has a 5tb external Seagate on sale for $129 and a 4tb WD for $131.

Posted this in SHSC but since it's weird greybeard poo poo the pos is probably better. Trying to get my Apple IIGS connected to the internet via SLIP. I attached it to sl0 and set up a point-to-point route. My Linux is 192.168.1.221 and the Apple II is 192.168.1.222. The Linux is in a vmware VM with a virtual LAN so eth0's IP is 192.168.68.2. My regular-rear end LAN is 192.168.1.0.

Currently from the Apple II I can telnet to 192.168.1.221 (so I know the SLIP connection's working) but I can't reach any other networks so something's up with my routing. Here's my SLIP script:

pre:
slattach -p slip -s 57600 /dev/ttyS1 &
ifconfig sl0 192.168.1.221 pointtopoint 192.168.1.222 up
route add -host 192.168.1.222 dev sl0
arp -Ds 192.168.1.222 sl0
which gives me a routing table of

pre:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
default         192.168.68.2    0.0.0.0         UG    100    0        0 ens33

anthonypants posted:

idk if you're going to post in here or the grey forums lunix thread but if it can really do tcpip i'm not sure why you'd need arp proxy

like, on a real computer you would say that you have an ip address (192.168.1.222) and that ip address exists in a subnet (192.168.1.0/24) and that there is a gateway (192.168.1.221) that connects your computer (192.168.1.222) to the rest of the network (192.168.1.0/24) or to the world (0.0.0.0). since you're on an ancient device i don't know how much of that is actually happening or if anything's missing

the SLIP link layer has no configuration beyond setting an IP and a DNS. it's point-to-point so all traffic is going to the Linux. the problem is the Linux isn't routing anything outside of its LAN. i had it working last night but screwed up the configuration somehow.

I can connect to the other end of the link and to 192.168.68.2, which is the IP of eth0. no traffic from the Apple II seems to be leaving 192.168.68.0. yes, I enabled IP forwarding in the kernel.

ok so what you're saying is that eth0 is the adapter on your linux box, with an ip of 192.168.68.2/24, and eth1 is the adapter on that same box with the address 192.168.1.221/xx? what's the ip/route configuration look like on your apple ii, is there a way to get that information somehow

I did a little reconfiguration while trying to get it to work so the IPs changed.

the connection is point to point. the apple II's IP is 192.168.22.4 and its gateway is 192.168.22.3. all traffic to one end will flow to the other end. i'm my own ISP, basically

here's my Linux ifconfig. ens33 is my vmware virtual adapter, sl0 is the SLIP connection. virbr0 has to do with vmware.

VMware's virtual LAN is 192.168.68.0. my LAN is 192.168.1.0. The Apple II can telnet to 192.168.68.160 and get a connection reset instead of a timeout so that's working.

I need them so vmware will connect to the internet lol

wireshark says when I traceroute to 192.168.22.4 the packets get routed over sl0 so that's good

when I telnet to 192.168.1.1, I get a bunch of ARP packets asking who has 192.168.22.4. so packets are reaching the LAN but the LAN doesn't know how to reach my Apple II
