  • Remember to use the IP + 1 (See green star above for location) on your ether1 IP.
  • Romeo0s range is 172.25.81.0 so it will be set to 172.25.81.1/28 on ether1.

[edit] Setting up your PC

  • change your IP of your PC by taking the IP assigned to your RB and +1 to this ip
  • eg. my RB ip is 172.25.81.1 so my PC ip would be 172.25.81.2
  • The gateway IP would be YOUR RB's IP
  • The Subnet would be 255.255.255.248
  • Primary DNS will be the IP of YOUR hs Loopback Interface eg. Mine would be 172.25.80.1 as per http://172.24.1.1/mediawiki/index.php/New_IP_HS_Page
  • Secondary DNS you can set to 172.24.1.1 or 172.25.9.1 if you are in Centurion
  • Now you have to change the WUG route of your pc
  • start by going to the command prompt eg start > run > CMD
  • type in route print
  • Check your persistent routes
  • now delete the persistent route by typing > route delete 172.16.0.0
  • You have to add a persistent route to your RB the same way you did it in the beginning when joining the WUG
  • route -p add 172.16.0.0 mask 255.240.0.0 <<IP_OF_YOUR_RB>>
  • check that you have a route by typing > route print
  • Do a ping test or traceroute to 172.24.1.1 to check that you are connected
  • update all wiki pages referring to any service you may be running or hosting (such as FTP servers)
  • refer to the WUG Services and Quickstart pages to obtain the new IPs for existing services

[edit] Disclaimer

  • Please note, after you get the new IP's, you will need to clock in a good amount of hours on IRC
  • And you need to familiarise with the PTAWUG donation way of doing things - http://www.ptawug.co.za/content_list_29
  • Failure to adhering to the above rules, will cause your IP to be revoked, and you will be put on a waiting list when you re apply for wug access.
