I installed 3 linux machines on the network using Router (Cable
modem), how can I setup e-mail accounts?. All 3 machines talk and all
3 can ping each other, also each one can be connected to the INternet.
I want to create some users on Linux machines and I want to assign
e-mails to those users, how can I do that?. I wanted to run my own
www.xyz.com from one of my machine (if I register my own web site, Is
that enough to run Internet web site as well as e-mail accounts),
Please let me know what are the steps involved here to make my website
running and e-mails running.

Thanks in advance.

Has anyone had any success running NISTNet
(http://snad.ncsl.nist.gov/itg/nistnet/) on a 2.6 kernel or should I
acknowledge my mistake and downgrade to something that it is known to
work with?

Cheers,
Paul.<><

In a variety of ways, each having pros and cons.

Obviously, since this is the first requirement to actually having a network.

Get e-mail accounts from your ISP, I would think.

Prepare to read a /lot/ of information about

- networking
- DNS
- webhosting
- mail

That really depends on what you mean by "registering my web site".

You don't register a web site, you register a *domain*.
Which in and of itself does not give you the option of running anthing -
it merely designates you the owner of the domain.

To run your own services at home for the domain your address has to
appear in the DNS records for the domain.
Depending on what and how you registered it this will be more or less
involved - or, indeed, possible.

1. Get a web and mail server running 24/7 on a local machine
2. Register a domain
3. Add a hostname for the webserver (like www.) that points to you
4. point the MX record to your machine for mail services.
5. test ;-)
