Hello, I am trying to connect two computers together and share an internet connection.
I have been reading over and over again the two following documents: http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/connect/cmlan.html http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/connect/cmlan2.html but despite my best efforts and many tries, I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Sol runs Mandrake 9.2, has two ethernet cards, one connected (eth1?) to the internet via adsl. Terra runs Mandrake 9.1, has one ethernet card connected to Sol via a crossover cable. on both Sol and Terra, I have: # cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost 10.0.0.10 sol.lan sol 10.0.0.11 terra.lan terra On Sol, I have: # route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 201.131.41.10 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 191.161.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0. 201.131.41.10 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0 I have tried to run the networks configuration wizards on both machines, but I am still very confused as to what IP address I should enter where. The two machines cannot ping each other (ping 10.0.0.10) When I run the internet sharing wizard on Sol, I get the following output in the console: # /usr/lib/shorewall/functions does not exist! /usr/lib/shorewall/functions does not exist! /usr/lib/shorewall/functions does not exist! Stopping CUPS printing system: [ OK ] Shutting down dhcpd: [ OK ] Stopping named: [ OK ] pppoe: no process killed SIOCDELRT: No such process /usr/lib/shorewall/functions does not exist! /usr/lib/shorewall/functions does not exist! Sol is properly connected to the internet, but I cannot manage to share the connection with Terra. Right now, I don't know where to start to look for the problem. What should I use on Sol and on Terra: DrakConnect, DrakGw or DrakProxy? On Terra, I did the following: Drakconnect > wizard > lan > IP 10.0.011 Mask: 255.255.255.0 > Host name: terra.lan zeroconf host name: DNS server: 201.131.41.10 gateway: 10.0.0.10 (I have also tried 191.161.1.0) but no good. I have tried other combinations but to no avail. I have done something obviously wrong?
