sorry i keep asking so many questions..i just want to find the best way to go about this! i -do- have an actual router (which i was using before when both computers were running windows). my router is linksys Etherfast Cable/DSL router. it doesn't provide information about setting it up on a linux box...i have my adapter (ie hardware or MAC) address, ip address (and alt. ip address), subnet mask ip, dns server ip, authentication ip, gateway ip, and domain name. i need (i think) to know how to setup TCP/IP under linux. however i'm not positive about any of this..thanks, angela >From: Lanman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: [newbie] ip masquerading, help >Date: Sun, 16 Sep 2001 14:37:31 -0400 > >Yes, the server computer must be running whenever either computer wants to >connect to the internet.
