When I upgraded the main switch on the network in order to support multiple internet addressable web servers I noticed that whichever system I connected first could access the internet while the following ones couldn’t. I decided to call Cox’s support line to see what the proper procedure was for using multiple IP addresses. As it turns out the less-than-intelligent person who installed my modem did not set it up to use multiple IP addresses (nor did he know that I was receiving a business connection instead of a residential connection). The tech support agent figured the problem out and resolved the issue very quickly. I should have my secondary server up and running within a week.

If you administer linux boxes then you should check out Webmin. It’s an extremely usefull web interface that allows you to manage almost any setting on your linux systems remotely. i find that it works well for the servers that I have in my server closet that aren’t connected to my kvm. Granted you can do everything that webmin does with SSH, but sometimes it’s just more simple to use a gui. Give it a try if you’re intrested.
