No, you don't need to do nothing more, just ensure the gateway of the Debian machine is set to the IP of the windows ethernet adapter (as someone pointed out in the thread, when you enable ICS, Windows uses 192.168.0.1 for the ethernet adapter so you have to adjust the computers of the network accordingly and also disable any DHCP facility). However, on the Windows side you can adjust your dial-up parameters to auto-reconnect after "x" secons if it goes offline as most ISP tend to disconnect the users after a period of idle activity. I've recently tested this scenario with an UMTS connection (hosted by a windows notebook) and worked with no problems.

I've come across setups where the ISP provided an ADSL modem with a built in hub and the user setup their connection with the supplied CD - which resulted in a weird "looped" connection (USB + eth) controlled by the Windoof box - other machines could be plugged into the hub but had to get the connection through ICS running on the Windoof box.

They were very early steps. If you so much as changed the IP address, you had to not only reboot, but first put in the installation CD, even though it wasn't necessary. I ran it for about three years, without too much trouble, though of course I wasn't expecting it to stay up for days at a time.

Re: Internet connection sharing?
We're assuming the standard 16 bit subnet here too. Don't know why you don't just put the machine on the same d block or even use 169.. but either way. If you can ping your windows box, try ringing something like 8.8.8.8 or 4.2.2.2 and see if that works. Then make sure resolv.conf has the same dns settings as your windows box.

I've seen ADSL routers (more than one model) get into a state where they will pass a ping and some other protocols, and not pass others. For some reason, http seems to be quite demanding, so my current router check script opens up to six websites and greps for strings they must contain. If all six fail to return coherent results, the router gets rebooted. If that seems like overkill, it works, and various lesser measures that I have tried were unreliable and rebooted too often on false alarms.

Which means your NIC works with Debian. That's good.
But, when I reboot the system after intall, the internet connection is
gone. I checked with another computer, that the line out is OK, but
still when I plug the (ADSL) modem to the laptop, internett is not
available.
I'm not experienced with internett-connection setup, so I must ask:
1. Wich commands gives output that makes it possible to locate the error?
2. Is there a way to repeat the auto-configuration I saw during
installation after the system is up and running?
3. Any other advices or hints are very much welcome!
System specs:
- The internet connection is broadband, with dynamic IP-adress (ADSL
through the telephone-line).
- No password or login nescesarry.
- Debian Etch (testing) kernel 2.6.15-486
- Laptop has no internal network-device, but has one available when
connected to the docking station (wich of course is connected).
Run "lspci" while attached to the docking station. Look for an entry
mentioning your network card. You may need to "modprobe ", where
is the name of the appropriate module for your network card.
You could also run "modconf" (if it's installed) for a more menu-driven
pick-and-choose method of installing the correct module (and this method
has the advantage of adding the module to "/etc/modules" so it'll be
loaded on succeeding reboots - otherwise you'll have to add it manually).
I think that nowadays there's a utility ("discover"?) that should
automagically probe for and insert correct modules on boot-up, but it
may not be working properly for you for whatever reason.
Once the correct module ("driver", in Windows-speak) has been loaded,
you may still need to restart your network, with "/etc/init.d/networking
restart". You may also need to define your network settings in
"/etc/network/interfaces".
I know this is not very specific, but it might point you in the right
direction.
I lately discovered that after 2 installs on 2 different computer that
in etc/network/interfaces, there is no line with , say auto eth0. So
Check that, if you dont have this add it. And then restart you r laptop,
it should work.

You need to put the IP of a nameserver in this file (man 5 resolver). Just find the IP of a nearby DNS server a put in a line like: nameserver www.xxx.yyy.zzz You can use /etc/hosts to locally store host IP information (as you were trying to do for your mail servers). man 5 hosts. Your /etc/hosts file probably has the following on the first line 127.0.0.1 debian localhost This is assuming you did not change the default hostname from "debian".

Just got home from work ... thanks for your reply ... ---Original Message--- to check that all of your installed apps are properly configured, do dpkg -C This gives me a new prompt after about two seconds. Nothing more. and post the results of that. there may be something else that screwed up. if the command above runs cleanly, bringing you back to a prompt without error messages, then everything is in order, as far as what's been installed so far is concerned. if you can't ping your nameserver, then you're not going to get anything out of whois, either. whois would return domain name registration info for whatever address you give it. for instance, here's a smidge of what whois tells me about whidbey.net: Administrative Contact: Denka, Mike (MD135) [EMAIL PROTECTED] WhidbeyNet 14888 SR 525 Langley, WA 98260 US (360) 341-0009 doesn't really matter, right now, though. Interesting! I'll explore this further once I'll be online again. Thanks for the demonstration! it also doesn't matter that you use wvdial--it's a fine dialer; there are many others, as well, but the point is it's not going to be the cause of the kind of problem you're having. are you using the same machine to send mail to the list. No, I'm using my girlfriend's M$-ME-computer to write to the list. Both are networked (LAN). Normally we use the Linux box as a router. Btw, both computers use the same phoneline, so, right now I have to disconnect the one to use the other and vice versa. This shows that the phoneline is okay. I can ping at least the first nameserver from Windows. So, that confirms, that nameserver and IP are so far okay, right? if so, then you're connection is staying alive, so it's not that. that you're not getting a fast answer to your problem is due to the fact that it's mighty weird what's going on there. check /etc/network/interfaces. on my system, the important part of it looks like this: auto lo iface lo inet loopback I didn't have "auto lo", added it, but it didn't make any difference. :-( if yours doesn't, then that could be the source of the problem. try to think of what is different about the new installation, and start making notes of anything you may have been unsure about in the course of the initial configuration. I'll certainly do so with the next install. Good idea! are there any alternative dns ip's available at your isp; ie, can you be certain that the isp isn't having a dns problem right now, or may even have changed their dns servers? it has been know to happen. I called them yesterday, and they claimed nothing has changed on their side. are you sure that you're dialing into the right number? are there optional numbers that you can try? is there anyone you can call who uses the same setup to connect to the web to check that? this actually happened to me--i had the last digit wrong by one; the call was answered by a modem and i thought i was connected but couldn't get anywhere. in fact, you should also check /etc.wvdial.conf to make sure that you have the right baud setting for the modem you're dialling into. Yes, I double checked phone # and baud rate, compared with the other computer's config. Everything okay here. wvdial gives me at the end: PPP session from (some-IP-address) to some-IP-address beginning "lots of weird keystrokes" --> PPP negotiation detected. --> Starting pppd at date time Does this look okay to you? As far as I remember it was the same when it actually worked with the last install. I can ping both of those IP-addresses which I assume are the dynamic addresses for my, and the remote system? the main thing is, don't get hung up on what you can't do. focus more on the fact that there is, however elusive, a logical reason behind the problem, and its solution is going to involve a wealth of understanding that can't be bought by any other means than having the problem in the first place. it's a good lesson. That's an interesting way to see it! ;-) Yes, you're certainly right. Anyway, I'm tempted to suggest a complete new install. This might get things straight, but then I (we) will never get to know what the problem was. This is the part I don't like about the idea. What's your opinion? by the way, you live in one of my favorite parts of the world. if i could, i'd be living on orcas, sucking in that chlorophyl. What keeps you from doing so?

Don't know if you have done all neccessary things. Do you have the file /etc/resolv.conf? This is sometimes missing and you have to create it. This is my resolv.conf: domain http://www.msn.de nameserver 193.101.111.20 This file is very important to gett access to your ISP. Timo -- Nothing is impossible! You only need to know the way. :-)

Has more > replaced that or am I doing something wrong? If you have just installed the base system you will need to install other programs such as man using apt-get install. I've built up all my Debian systems from minimum floppy disk installs so I'm aware of all the programs that will be missing :-) Do an "apt-get install less info" while you're at it. "less" is much better than "more". You can scroll up and down plus search for words by pressing / Either "cat | less" or just type "less " Sorry I can't help you with the rest. Just a tip: worry about getting DNS lookups working later. You first want to know whether you can ping known working (remote) IP addresses. Then worry about resolving their IP addresses from their domain names by putting the IP addresses of your DNS server(s) in /etc/resolv.conf Regards, Adam

hi ya your gateway ip# is something that your ISP gives you... if you are using dhcp... your isp will define your ip#, gateway and dns info ... if you are using static ip#... you will be given your ip# range... - "machine A" is your gateway and firewall - you pick which ip# you want to use as your gateway... - you pick your own machine name and domain name etc.. - you run your own dns ( reverse dns might be trickier ) In either case above... - all other machines in your lan, will connect to the 2nd NIC port on machine A with a local 192.168.1.x ip# - - machine A will need to have ip_forward turned on and other options ... and you'd need to do ip_masq too - see the IP_Masquerate-HOWTO and the Firewall-HOWTO machine B points all its services to machine a... - machine A is the gateway for machine B - machine A is the dns for machine B - machine A is the ??? for machine B -- consider it fun and not as bad/big of a pain in the rumps.. have fun playing/learning alvin -- -- http://www.Linux10.org ...

Indeed, this would be preferable, but perhaps the original poster has a windows-only internal DSL card. If that is the case he will need to use the 'Internet Connection Sharing' facility that was added to W98 Second Edition.

I'll assume that you have Debian on the machine that has the internet connection and that you have already done 'apt-get install ipmasq'.

Select the TCP/IP item that corresponds with the NIC in the machine and click on Properties. In the Gateway tab enter the IP address of your linux box with the internet connection and press Add. Press OK enough times to get rid of all the dialogs. Windoze will now tell you that unless you reboot you are screwed, so click "yes" to reboot. You also need to specify a DNS server or you will need to type IP addresses instead of names in, ex, a web browser. To do this find out the IP of your ISP's DNS server (you should have this in /etc/resolv.conf on the Debian box). Go back to the Properties dialog and select the DNS Configuration tab. Enter the address of the nameserver. You also need to specify a hostname and domain for the machine or windows will yell loudly at you.

Admittedly it does create a problem if you want to get at that serial port and the modem is no longer there and you don't remember that you renamed it, then you can run into a problem with having 2 device files for a single device. -D
