Could anyone please give me a hint how to configure a win98 box behind a
gentoo router? Just replaced Dad's broken WinXP box with a brandnew
computer where I installed win98 for him. Using my Gentoo box as router it
worked perfectly with Dad's old computer. Now I can ping between gentoo and
win98, I can manage Dad's files from my Gentoo box (samba) can print from
Gentoo to his printer, but his win98 can't get an internet connection. What
did I miss? Must be something on the win98 side, since I did not change
anything on my Gentoo box. TIA!
It depends on whether or not the box is broadcasting via DHCP.
If the box is broadcasting, no extra configuration is needed. If the box is not broadcasting, you need to give the win98 box a static IP (just pick one that's not in use) and make the gateway the Gentoo box's IP.
I gave win98 the address 192.168.1.2, the gentoo gateway is 192.168.1.2
For the DNS settings, that depends on whether or not the Gentoo box is running a daemon like bind.
Couldn't find any bind in my process table.
Oh sh... ! Now I screwed up the win98 configuration completely. Not even ping works any more.
Can we get it from the begining? The following network components are installed:
Client for Microsoft Networks
VIA Rhine II Fast Ethernet Adapter
TCP/IP
File and printer sharing for MS networks
Is this correct so far?
