You can set them up so they appear to be two different subnets, and route data between them on the secure link.

How to join to private networks

by Skip Gaede

Hi, My son-in-law has two offices, one in Worcester and one in Brocton, and he want to logically tie them together. The office in Brocton has a dialup connection to AOL, while the office in Worcester has a DSL connection.

Help! - Final

by Michael Long

I ended up buying SuSE 8.2 and installing it on another drive. I then used reiserfsck that came with it to repair the partition. Big mistake, the data was lost. Now I am off to rebuild my system from backups. :(

Re: [Wlug] Help! part 4

update to latests rieserfs tools as I posted before: http://www.namesys.com/download.html Download the reiserfsprogs-3.6.8.tar.gz tar xvfz <file.tar.gz>, RTFM, follow the directions. The reiserfs tools you have with Suse 7.x are for sure pretty old. Then run the same reiserfsck --fix-fixable /dev/hda5 with the new version. reiserfsck -V to check your current verion. I bet it's much older than 3.6.8 might want to do some homework on google. On Tue, 24 Jun 2003, Michael Long wrote: > I got the bright idea...finally...to look at the boot partition > (hdb5).

Re: [Wlug] Help! part 4

I got the bright idea...finally...to look at the boot partition (hdb5). I ran badblock and it came back with no bad blocks. Next reiserfsck --fix-fixable /dev/hda5 was run with the following results: reiserfs_open: bitmap 0 was marked free reiserfs_open: first bitmap looks corrupted Analyzing journal..Segmentation fault Could this be why my drives are mounting as readonly? How do I correct this problem?
