Hello fellow Dusers, I am (and have been) trying to get my home machines running with the following configuration. So Far I have had little success.
I have Debian Box (Potato) configured with ppp (Love it!) My wife has a winblows box (Hate it!) Both have ethernet cards and are cabled to each other. Want to have dynamic ppp go up on Lin box when Win box asks for internet access. I think I also want some sort of IP masq. so that Both boxes can use the net at the same time. Also want to print serve for the win box (probably with samba) from the Lin box. It would be nice to remote mount drive from lin box on win box but not necessary. So far I can't even get the win box to ping my linux box. I have read HOWTO's for Ethernet, NET-3, Networking, ... Have tried routing and ifconfig to no avail. Kernel Sees the ethernet card, Winbox sees the ethernet card, so I think the hardware part is OK. This seems like a fairly common thing to do but I have been getting nowhere. Is there a [mini-|]HOWTO somewhere on this that I missed? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. TIA -- Frisco Rose "By any other name, I would smell the same" E.O.U.
