Hi Guys
Here's what I hope is not a stupid question.
I have attempted to set up connection sharing under mandrake 8. I see it has
allocated 192.168.0.1 as et0 IP address. The default gateway is also set as
192.168.0.1.
I would like to connect my wifes machine to the 'net using my Mandrake
machine as the proxy and gateway. I am able to ping the Linux box from the
'doze machine, as well as ping the 'doze machine from Linux.
What else is required to set this up. I don't mind if the 'doze mail stuff is
collected directly from our ISP although ultimately, because I use the Linux
box exclusively, I would like all our mail collected using qmail or something
and distributed upon request to OE on 'doze and KMail on my machine.
The first hurdle though is getting Linux to dial up when requested by the
Windows machine. Any help will be much appreciated. FWIW when setting up the
connection sharing I was prompted for disk 1 and stuff like IPChains and Bind
was installed.
Thanks and have a great day.
Regards
Mark A
