Perhaps you don't. If you don't want to make an internal network, and just want to connect both clients to the net. The manual in may cable-modem (Samsung) says that you can connect the hub directly to the cable-modem (with a crossover RJ45 cable), and the all the computers to the hub. They boot and request independent DHCP addresses. And a note: in Mandrake I have tested both 'pump' and 'dhcpd', and like very much the first. -- Juan Antonio Magallon Lacarta # cd /pub mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] # more beer Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.
Re: [expert] Sprint Broadband internet
Due to my apartment regulations sprintbroadband will not be installable. Now I am planning for CAIS internet service. It's a wireless service, with the receiver connected to my ethernet card. I have a eth0 connected to my Win 2000 client. Running LM 7.1 planning to install 7.2 later. My ISP says I have to connect the gateway module to my Win eth card, supply the username/password and I am all set. It supports Mac systems also. It's dynamic IP From the messages I received on this list I assume it's DHCP. So How do I configure the card? Any HOWTO's where I can find the info or just give me some info to set it up.

Re: [expert] Sprint Broadband internet
You will probably want to switch eth0 to your external wireless device, and add another NIC for eth1 on the internal network--just remove the IP assignment and the rest of the info from eth0, and put it into eth1. Make eth0 DHCP configured, and enabled at boot. Also: Either read up on ipchains and masquerading to institute firewalling and internal client masquerading, or get yourself a firewall script like pmfirewall (www.pointman.org) to do the firewall and masquerade setup for you. --Greg - Original Message - From: "Sridhar Govindarajulu" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Due to my apartment regulations sprintbroadband will not be installable.

Re: [expert] Sprint Broadband internet
First off check to see if it uses a static IP or DHCP. If it uses a static IP then you probably don't have to do anything more than setting up your ethernet card with the proper masks and such. If it uses DHCP you might need to use an assigned hostname to make it work. Try asking on your local linux group if they have a mailing list. Often somebody locally has already tried it. :) *^*^*^* Have the courage to take your own thoughts seriously, for they will shape you. -- Albert Einstein On Tue, 17 Oct 2000, Sridhar Govindarajulu wrote: Hi, I am trying to install Sprint Broadband internet access.
