Hi Cominelli, I have made my internet connection into two steps with two computers. I have one computer that "connects" to the internet VIA whatever means. This can be an older one running whatever old distribution works.
On this older computer, I make a bridge between this internet connection and my local 10baseT/10base2 ethernet bridge hookup. Usually I have to enable "masquerade", DHCP and perhaps some other bridge associated features to get this working. Getting things running is pretty easy with the tools built into most linux distributions. At this point I will have "internet" on my local 10baseT/10base2 network. I have found that virtually "ALL" linux distributions will find whatever ethernet card is present and connect VIA dhcp to my local network and thence onto the internet. Mostly I use NE2000 type ISA ethernet cards since the "just work". If the given computer doesn't have any ISA slots, I use any cheap PCI ethernet card. Recently on hard drives, I have taken creating a large (half of the hard drive) "user" partition as hda2 and then installing lots of different distributions on many other smaller distributions. I mount this user partition into the filesystem of whichever distribution I am currently running. One such drive has Knoppix 3.6, Vector, Ubuntu, Knoppix 5.0.1-CD, Knoppix 5.0.1-DVD(in a 15 GB partition!) and several versions of Damn Small Linux. I usually put either Knoppix 3.6 or DSL 0.8.3 on hda1 and us it to create the LILO loader that allows me to start whichever distribution I happen to find convenient to use. IMHO Knoppix 5.1.1-DVD is the most impressive distribution out there. It's 4+GB compressed. However, everything is already installed and just works. But you need to install it into a 20GB partition! 2 computers is not as simple as a single computer but it "just works"!! I happen to have several neighbors with "open" wireless 802.11b/g. As a result I often get almost 5 megabits/second onto the internet!!! Pretty amazing and also the price is right!! I hope the above helps :). warm regards, john On Tue, 30 Jan 2007, Cominelli Franco wrote: > Hello Leif and all, > during last week end, i have installed UBUNTU 6.10, right some days after > some test with > UBUNTU 6.06. > Now, the main problem for me is to install my network (internet connection), > using my Dialup > 56 k modem.
