I have a B&W450 (Running either OS9 or OSX) that I would like to use as
a webserver. Currently I have a nice storage system setup on that
computer (soon to be upgraded to 4x120GB). I would also like this
storage to be accessable from my PowerBook 800DVI. My problem is that
normal 100base is too slow for the PowerBook/B&W connection. I was
thinking about buying a PCI Gigabit ethernet card (if they exist) and
then connect the PowerBook and B&W directly (or through my Airport). My
problem arises when hooking the B&W to my ISP... I have two fixed IP
addresses, one for my server and one for my airport/LAN. I want the
server to be connected through the static IP while my PowerBook is
connected through the LAN/second IP. Alone this isn't a problem, but
once installing a second network card and hooking into the Intranet/LAN
via my Airport will I have problems? (my guess is yes...) Are there any
solutions?
My main goal is to have the storage from my B&W (external firewire case)
for use as a webserver, while at the same time accessable from my
PowerBook for fast storage (would like to use firewire, but don't think
it will work - currently exploring this option). If anyone has any
suggestions it would be much appreciated. Thank you!
