Hiya,



Newbie here...I've got 4 machines and a switch.I was just wondering how to set up a mini LAN usin these devices,i've installed linux ubuntu server on one of the PCs(thats going to be my server).Now how do i go about setting up the network.



Once the network is up,I wish to load test the server(web server to start with) using an appropriate tool installed on a client PC.

But I'm kinda stuck with the first part-setting up the n/w.I've got the 5 devices and burned a ubuntu server edition disktro...what components need to be installed?And what configurations?Plz guide me through.



Cheers,

David

You are talking about web server, assuming you have some sort of modem and you want to connect your network to the internet? Also assuming you have only one public IP address. Has this modem built-in NAT router?
