| i'm still confuse configuring zebra(with ospf).
here the background: my administrator only give me 1 ip, i wanna make my comp. as a linux router[zebra - ospf].
can i make that happen, if i don't know what kind of router in our lan?
thank's. | |

| If you only have 1 IP then why would you want to run OSPF? | |

| i'm still learning linux here.
i've tried ics on windows, n i wanna try on linux. am i wrong choosing zebra?
because i still want to surf internet from my router, or is this that bad?
thank's. | |

| if i insist [surfing from my router], what other choices i have?
or is it a must that a linux router is a dedicated computer?

| OSPF is a routing protocol. What you want is either NAT or a proxy server. The link that mikop provided should be a good starting point. | |

| forget my first idea,
back to zebra,
why i can't use zebra-ospf with 1 ip?
if i assume:
our lan's server is some isp, n i wanna build my own lan. n i choose zebra-ospf.
how i configure it?
or is it that stupid/impossible?
n what about the client, windows ? linux ?
thank's. | |

| hanoman - do you understand what a routing protocol is, and more specifically, how OSPF works? Based on what you've described, I really don't think Zebra is what you want to use. | |
| hanoman 2003-04-20, 5:26 am |
| well, u're right. i have litle knowledge about routing protocol, especially ospf.
then, in what case i can apply zebra-ospf.
actually, i wanna study zebra-ospf.
accidentally, my computer connected to our lan.
any guidance?[since zebra.org or it's milist not so helpfull]
thank's. | |

| So you don't know what a routing protocol is, but you want to jump right in and learn one of the more complicated ones? At least you didn't choose BGP. That would have just been insane 
Read a Cisco Press book on either CCNA prep, or basic routing. That will give you the background needed to start learning about OSPF. If you don't already have a strong understanding of subnetting and the OSI model, pay particular attention to those sections. After you've gotten though that, go to cisco.com and search for OSPF. | |

| I think CCNA is a minimum to start to understand OSPF, BGP etc. (You do not need to be a CCNA, but you need at least that knowledge) | |

| thank's for the guidance,
can i use them both?[zebra+nat]
~[how...silly i'am]~

| They provide totally different services, so yes. | |

| why do you need to make your linux box ar router? surely your administrator could do that.
a good overview of networks including routing can be found here |
