Title: Re: Re: Adding block of IP addresses to RAQ3

Dear Ray,

It seems simple on the surface because if your initial netmask and gateway are already setup with the block of IPs given to you.
The problem arise when you are given a different class of IP addresses (as you may purchase more in the future) that follow their own gateway and netmask. The cobalt GUI does not have the capability to create routing protocols in it. It has to be hand coded. This is what I am seeking help with.

Thanks for the reply though it enabled me to be more clear.

Hi,

Maybe I'm lookin at this too simple.  What I do is set up a site with the IP and point the DNS
to it. Done.  The ISP has given those IP's to you already.  All you need to do is use them :)

Subject: [cobalt-users] Adding block of IP addresses to RAQ3 purchased from Host Provider?
Reply-To: cobalt-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hello fellow cobalt users,

I hope someone has an answer to the following question!

I purchased a block of 50 IP addresses from my IHP (Internet Host Provider)
and was given a range of IP addresses (xxx.xxx.120.129 to xxx.xxx.120.174)
as well as the gateway xxx.xxx.120.1 and the Netmask 255.255.248.0 but no
means by which to setup the cobalt RAQ3 to point to them. My eth0 uses a
different gateway and a different netmask.

I searched Cobalt site for days as well as the user list to no avail. My IHP
is under the impression that this information is already built in the Cobalt
but nothing is working.

Does anyone have any ideas? Is this a failing of the RAQ3 or a failing in
documentation!
