Hmm, this has come up a couple of times before, and I've had the same problem
myself (once I started a small 3 comp LAN). What I had to do was edit these
files: (to get a modem connection, LAN working, and not have to shutdown my
network everytime I wanted to dial out)
/etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=darkforce.com
DOMAINNAME=com
GATEWAY=
GATEWAYDEV=ppp0
FORWARD_IPV4=true
/etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.0.1 darkforce.com darkforce
192.168.0.2 darkforce2
192.168.0.3 darkforce3
/etc/resolv.conf
domain setel.com #kppp temp entry
search com setel.com
nameserver 192.168.0.1
nameserver 192.168.0.2
nameserver 192.168.0.3
# ppp temp entry
nameserver 63.70.180.2 # ppp temp entry
nameserver 63.70.180.2 #kppp temp entry
Of course, you'd have to enter your own specifics above. ;-)
And I believe (but am not sure) that I had to turn connection sharing on.
Might want to ask someone else about that.
Hope this helps some! ;-)
