Hello, I have some trouble sharing one ADSL connection (8Mbps) for a local area network.
I did it at home and it works well. The modem assigns an IP with DHCP and there is basically no other configuration except running the connection sharing setup. Now I am trying to do the same for a school. They have also a 8 Mbps modem to which I am supposed to connect by DHCP, and I have also run the connection sharing setup. Now the differences: At home, the IP assigned by the modem (or by the provider via the modem) is something like 20x.xxx.xxx.xxx, which looks like a reasonable value. The connection sharing works at home, or at least it used to work with 8.1. I have no linux machine at home now. At school, the IP assigned by the modem or by the provider via the modem is 192.168.0.1. I thought this was reserved for a private network. Can this cause the failure? By the way, the symptoms: none of the connected machines can connect to internet. If I connect directly (put the hub at the output of the modem), it works well, but the server is meaningless. I have tried to set my second board to another value so there is no conflict, but it does not work. Any idea? Thanks, Pascal
