from windows? you mean you have a windows machine connected to the net that you want networked to your linux box so your linux machine can connect too? BAHAHAHAHAHA... sorry :-) I'm sure Bill Gates is happy to hear this... I'm laughing because generally linux (and it's unixy fathers) have always been used for networking and internet work, and it's just so famous for this that it seems almost sacreligious to go the other way around - especially when (to my knowledge) all other operating systems' network software is based on ideas from famous unix/linux network software........ nothing wrong with this reverse idea, just something that never occured to me before - I just think "Ok, there's a linux box, obviously we make it the server....." when I setup a network. but anyway, you can use a proxy server for windows like WinProxy (search on the net for their homepage) and it will tell you exactly what to do. I have used it and set it up on other systems. There are others, too. Personally, I'd do this the other way around though, and make linux online and windows the network client. I mean, you've got a nice web server already setup and running on linux, etc etc, and you can you the "IP Masquerading" info in the last couple of emails on this list to setup your linux machine to let your windows machine access the net also. I'm working on this setup as we speak. Don ----------------------- On Fri, 25 Jun 1999, you wrote: > Ok. Now what drivers do I use for my ethernet card? The autoprobe in the installation said it was a tulip card. I don't know what that is, but my card is an NDC 10/100 PCI card. After I went into Linux it seemed fine until every 10 seconds it kept popping up messages in the console saying something like "eth0 blah blah blah retrying...." Are there any generic ethernet drivers available? And is it possible to share the internet connection from windows with my linux computer.
