Hi! Our network use to have a leased line of 128k/s to the internet. Now we bought a receive only satelite system for downlink.We installed it on a computer on the network and we first tried it on windows-98 and it worked but that computer had only the ip of the satelite provider.. so installing a proxy server on that computer wouldn't have solved our network... because the ip was not local and the request to the proxy went outside the network. So it was not much gain in speed. We tried to install the card (aba2030) on linux and put two ip's on it.. We installed the satelite card and the ethernet card. But now I don't know how to configure the system so that the uplink is done through the leased line and the downlink through the satelite. What do I have to put in linuxconf at Basic Host Information at the second adaptor.. currently there is only the ethernet adaptor set up. But the computer has 2 ip's... i tried to traceroute both ip's from a remote server and they both work.. one through the satelite route and one through the local isp route. What options do I have to connect all the network to the satelite. I'm not looking for a "buy a router" solution " :)... .. but first I need to know how to set up the downlink.. then if I have this I could do masquerading. Anyway.. pls help. Thanks in advance!
