[cobalt-users] Foriegn Problems

["Mark G. Castillo" <mark@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Okay, I am translating this for a Cobalt user who does not speak English,
and I will have to translate it back to her with potential fixes, so bear
with me.

She writes:

"I have my email, name servers, remote access servers, everything within the
network 200.12.228.0 / 25.  Now I have a new network that is 200.12.228.0
/24.  But this network I will use for users because they are cablemodem
users that need their own public addresses, so I configured SMTP Relay for
the address range 200.12.231.  And I put the IP address 200.12.231.1 as a
secondary in my router.  If I put, for example, an address within this
network and gateway, I can navigate and all on the Internet, except check
email on my RaQ3 because it takes an incredibly long time and usually times
out.  Now the question is, on this RaQ3, can I assign a secondary address to
Ethernet 0?  If so, how?  I have not worked with Linux, only with Solaris
and BSDI and I don't know the file name in Linux for where to do this, or if
it can be done with the "ifconfig" command."

I think her problem is that if she wants to configure 200.12.231 for SMTP
Relay, the users on that network have to use IP addresses within that
range - i.e., 200.12.231.10.  I have no idea whether these are named domains
or not, but could this have anything to do with the POP Before Relay .pkg
file.  I know I had to install it before my email would work properly.
Please gimme some feedback, so I can translate it and send it off to her.  I
think she's in Nicaragua.
