John,
Ok here is what I have so far, I am only looking to setup a small ISP with
10 line access on a Comtrol ISA Rocketport card that I have had since my BBS
days and would like to use it.
I have these 5 Machines on my hub so far: And I am assuming my layout is
correct. If not please give me an Idea on how you thing I should do this
I will be using a Dial-in PPP to my ISP for access
1. A linux box -(192.168.2.5) To use as a gateway and router to the net
for my local lan and the rest of the servers on my network - There is a
modem installed to access my provider for now, will be getting a cable
interface soon and adding another NIC for it. This will be the Box to make
the PPP conection to my ISP works great, I can ping anything on the net.
This Box I would like to be my Secondary DNS server plus a firewall or proxy
too.
2. A linux box - (192.168.2.4) Intended for a PPP server, houses the
Rocketport 8 port serial board, plus 2 internal modems totalling 10 ports
for dial-in, would like all requests from the dial in users to go out on
the number 1 pc above. This box I would like to be my Primary DNS server
3. A linux box - (192.168.2.2) Running server FTP, MAIL, WWW, and DNS, samba
to a Win98 PC that will house home directories.
4. Win98 Worstation - (192.168.2.1) Basic stuff, must be able to use net
going throught the number 1 pc above.
5. Win98 Worstation - (192.168.2.3) Basic stuff - same demand as above Win
Pc
What I have done so far is I setup the PPP connection to my ISP on box 1, I
setup DNS on Box 2, setup all the servers on box 3
I can access my ISP from box 1, and box 1 ONLY =( No other pc on my lan can
get net! I can ping em all locally by IP or Name.
Here is a link to a small ISP layout that I would like to do.

I just dont understand how to setup all this stuff on the linux boxes, do I
use the linuconf or do this stuff manually? the HOWTO's seem to all be
doing this stuff manually.
Thanks,
Rob Longo
