yeesh, S is right, you have it around the wrong way.. but its not hard to do what you want either..
setup your connection in win2000, set it up for sharing (ICS) give your win2000 netowrk card (that will link to the linux box) a private IP address, (192.168.0.1 is required for win) make your linux box 192.168.0.2 (in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0) then edit /etc/resolv.conf to reflect your ISP's DNS servers. then open /etc/sysconfig/network it should look something like this: NETWORKING=yes FORWARD_IPV4="yes" HOSTNAME="my.computer.hostname" DOMAINNAME="computer.hostname" GATEWAYDEV="eth0" GATEWAY="192.168.0.1" (you can remove GATEWAYDEV if you like, and set IPV4 to no.. since you are not using NAT.. but you may as well leave them there for when you come to your senses and connect using the linux box and share with everything from there..) end by opening up a console and typing: service network restart Then make sure your browsers are configured for any proxy server your ISP has.. and you should be able to browse.. if you have done that properly.. it will work.. if it doesn't, the chances are you flubbed something on the win2000 side. Incidenly, if you leave IPV4 as yes in /etc/network, you can use the linux box's nat to share the win2000's net connection with the rest of your network.. nat over nat.. kinda funny really.. regards Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of s Sent: Thursday, 30 May 2002 7:26 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] trying to connect On Thursday 30 May 2002 07:32 am, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I tryed to connect direct to my cable modem with no luck then everone is > suggesting just connect to the windows 2000 system(which I have in the same > room) O.K with that I tryed but with about the same luck but I didn,t > install samba I need to go back and install it for that to work wouldn,t > I???? No, you won't need samba just for internet access. You'll need to set up internet connection sharing in w2k and config your nic in mandrake. But man, is that backwards or what? I haven't been following your problem, but I would try harder on the linux side first. -s
