or your could setup NAT on your linux box. go and buy a second network card and put it in your linux box.
get a crossover cable and link your modem directly up to the new card. (not through the hub.) set that up so that your linux box can access the net this way. then setup NAT (connection sharing) on your linux box to share that connection. set the gateway IP in your windows box up to the IP of the linux box. works great, It how I am writing this email. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Brian Craft Sent: Thursday, 5 September 2002 5:23 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Help with Hub On Wednesday 04 September 2002 05:16 pm, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > im getting dsl and i want to use my hub i want a win2k box and a linux box > on the same dsl. > > i want to know if i can use my hub and get win2k box to to give my linux > box internet access or the other way around doesnt matter.

What I did was to come out of the dsl modem to the router (which also acts as your hub) and your computers plug into the router. It doesn't matter what OS your running. The router I'm using is a 4 port SMC Barricade Router. -- Brian Craft Registered Linux User # 210286 Linux Registered machine: 97873 Yahoo Instant Messenger ID: bcraft67 ICQ id: 129672292 AIM: linuxgeek67 Linux......the OS of Choice!
