Well, the first thing i would suggest is, take the second NIC out
of the windows machine and put it in the Linux box. That way you
can setup u're ASDL link and IP masqarading and use the Linux box
for access to the internet from your other machines. I say this
because Sygate sucks ass.
That being sed, I currently use sygate at home but for other reasons
besides internet access. Unfortunately my gateway MUST be a windows
machine. Anywayz, i have no problems running my linux machine
through the sygate server. I guess you just have to make sure that
TCP/IP is configured correctly on your linux box and that the default
gateway is set to the IP address of the machine running sygate.

Greetings,
I was wondering if anyone has tried to use a linux box from behind a
Windows firewall. I've been out of the "Linux loop" for a couple of
months, and I was hoping to pick it up again.
Here's the scenario. Small, home LAN (8 machines). ADSL connection to
one Win98 box equipped with two NICs. All other MS machines can both
see the Win98 box (a.k.a., the firewall) and access the Internet
(because the firewall is connected to the ADSL modem *and* the LAN hub).
Question:
I'm using Sygate as the modem-sharing software to provide Internet
access for the non-firewall machines. What sort of
mechanism/device/software/hack do I need to allow the Linux machine
(stock RH 6.0 on a 486 machine) to access the Internet vci? (I should
also tell you that the LAN machines have statically addressed IP
addresses.)
I hope I've not overlooked anything. Thanks in advance for your help.
(Private replies are encouraged.)
Sincerely,
-HGLEE
