I have Mandrake Linux 9.2 up and running on a PC I hope to use as a file server. I have two additional PCs running Windows 98SE in a peer-to-peer network configuration. One of them also supplies an ADSL connection to all PCs in my network (I used to have 3 running 98). The ADSL PC runs WinRoute Lite, acting as a DHCP server, to accomplish the internet sharing. (Ultimately, I'd like the Linux PC to do that and act as a firewall as well, but one thing at a time here!)
I am having a hard time getting my Linux PC on my windows network, to say nothing of getting it internet access. In the LAN configuration screen, I set my NIC to DHCP and click "Activate," but I get nothing. I must be missing something... any ideas? Is there a good tutorial available somewhere that tells me how to accomplish this? Any common problems I need to be aware of? Linux is completely foreign to me!!! Thanks, Chris
