I will be purchasing soon.

Thank You all.

Hi,
if you want, feel free to use my referral code while signing up. I've already posted that code elsewhere on the forum, but I don't mind helping you out with that as well.
If you remain an active customer (with a billable Linode) for 90 days I can receive a service credit.
The nice thing is that if you do this as well, you two if people use your code can get $20 on your Linode account as well.
Credits can be useful for paying for Linode services without your card being charged if you want to do that.
Also, you can always make advanced pre-payments in prety much any dollar amount I believe, and you don't have a limit on credit (pro-rated or otherwise) on your account, and that credit if not used doesn't expire.
It's still money costing you in the end anyhow, but that's a nice benifit of Linode that I'm sure everyone has used at one time or antoher.
You will be taken to the Linode home page when you click this link, but if you click the sign up box my code will already be in the box if you choose to use it.
Any other new users who see this thread are more than welcome to use the code as well.
Thanks, and God Bless.

Sounds good.. Keith-BlindUser, will use your code.

Hi Hoopycat,

I added a Private IP on both my servers and the system generated an IP by itself. Is that it? Does this confirm that the servers are talking to each other. How do i confirm this?

Thanks.

Quickest way is to use ping. From one server, ping the private IP address of the other server:

$ ping -c3 192.168.137.246
PING 192.168.137.246 (192.168.137.246) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.137.246: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.55 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.137.246: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.337 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.137.246: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.278 ms

--- 192.168.137.246 ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 2001ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.278/0.722/1.553/0.588 ms

If you see something like that, you've got two-way communications working.

Thanks, this works.

If we community folks can help answer any other questions do let us know.
Linode is a perfect environment to experiment around with to if your curious about trying other Linux flavers.
The Linode library, is probably one of the best sources of documentation detailing practically everything you might wish to know.
I suggest checking it out, you can find it under Linode community section on the main homepage.
I saw that you also used my code, so that's cool.
It's pending until you reach the 90 day mark, so stick with it.
As said any questions, just ask.
Feel free to message me on the forum if I can help somehow with whatever you want to know.
Nice thing is that if one person can't help, you can be asured that someone can.
Hard-core IT administraters are just some of the folks on this forum.
Take care, and hope you like your Linode so far!
