810.0. "[WOLFPACK] B2 private network setup?" by ZPOVC::MONTYWONG () Thu May 15 1997 20:17

    How can I setup  private and corporate network in Wolfpack B2? 
                               
    In WP B1 Install Wizard, the program asks which network card is for 
    private network but it's not in B2.
    
    Thanks.

810.1Disable TCP/IP on one of the cards...MBSVAX::SLOANJust Another Manic MondayFri May 16 1997 04:2011

    You have to disable TCP/IP on one of the network cards - run NetBEUI
    only on this car.  The other card you can run TCP/IP and NetBEUI on as
    normal.

810.2Admin Guide says use TCP/IPMSE1::MASTRANGELOFri May 16 1997 07:1810
    
    re -.1
    
    Is this right?  According to the Administrator's Guide that I got with
    Beta 2, Wolfpack uses UDP for node-to-node communication.  This implies
    that TCP/IP is a requirement for the private (and public) networks.
    
    On page 58 of the guide it actually states "Before you install the 
    Wolfpack software, you must configure both nodesto use the TCP/IP 
    protocol over all interconnects."
810.3Wolfpack doesn't use NETBEUIDECWET::CAPPELLOFMy other brain is a polymerFri May 16 1997 10:093
    I'd agree with .2.  Wolfpack does not use NETBEUI at all.  I'll ask the
    Wolfpack experts at Microsoft why B2 SETUP doesn't ask about network
    card.
810.4Try different subnetsSUBSYS::HOPEWELLStorageWorks for PC LansThu May 22 1997 07:359
The Admin Guide on page 58 talks about private network addressing. I have 2
NIC's in each system. The private NIC i assigned an IP address in a different
subnet that the public NIC and it works just fine. TCP is enable on both NICS.

The tricky part is when you install Wolfpack to know which board is public
and which is private if you have all the same type of NICS. Use the IPCONFIG
command to show you your setup setup.
