[newbie] ip masquerading, help
i'm relatively new to linux..before i set up linux on my secondary box i was running one cable ip for both computers by way of a router and ethernet card. my primary box is now still running windows (ME) but i can not figure out how to get internet connection to my secondary (now) linux box. i was referred to ip masquerading and i've read several documents on it...basically what i've gathered from these documents is that the primary computer has to be the linux box...is there any way to set up the windows me computer as the server to the linux box?? thanks so much! i appreciate it, *angela _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

i'm using a road runner cable connection. once i set up internet connection sharing on ME, how do i set up the connection on my linux box?

Me has something called Internet Connection Sharing. What type of connection do you have? Keep in mind that even though Me will enable DHCP, you can leave your Ip on the Linux box as Static - ie; fixed number.

Re: [newbie] ip masquerading, help
is it true that i have to have the server comp. (the windows running one) always on? anyway around this?

You shouldn't need it at all. Just make sure you put in the other info I mentioned, and you should be fine. The floopy just contains the same info you have to put in manually,...Gateway and DNS. But of course, Microsoft thinks we're idiots, so that floppy contains a Wizard to transpose the info. Think of it as ICS for Dummies who only use Windows. Obviously, you don't (just use Windows, that is). Once the gateway and DNS are set on the linux box, the most you'll have to do is restart, but it shouldn't be necessary. Just run the network wizard in Mandrake Control center, and it will restart your network connection to the Windows box on it's own. Have fun!

If not, change the network config to allow for DHCP, restart the network (on linux box), and you shold be in business. Make sure you enter the gateway Internal Ip of Me station, and DNS numbers of your ISP.

Re: [newbie] ip masquerading, help
sorry i keep asking so many questions..i just want to find the best way to go about this! i -do- have an actual router (which i was using before when both computers were running windows). my router is linksys Etherfast Cable/DSL router. it doesn't provide information about setting it up on a linux box...i have my adapter (ie hardware or MAC) address, ip address (and alt. ip address), subnet mask ip, dns server ip, authentication ip, gateway ip, and domain name. i need (i think) to know how to setup TCP/IP under linux. however i'm not positive about any of this..thanks, angela From: Lanman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] ip masquerading, help Date: Sun, 16 Sep 2001 14:37:31 -0400 Yes, the server computer must be running whenever either computer wants to connect to the internet. If it's not, the network cards don't work, and the tcp/ip protocols on thserver aren't enabled, thereby eliminating the Internet coneection. That's one of the big reasons that many people find an old 486 or early generation Pentium pc and set it up as the Internet server or Gateway/Router. The only way around this is as I suggested or to by an actual router and configure it to do the same job as your windows box. One of the nice features of using an old PC is that there are a large number of linux-based gateway/routers that can also be used to act as a firewall, thus protecting you from most types of hacks. You can also run a web-site on many of them. Lanman On Sunday 16 September 2001 02:19 pm, you wrote: is it true that i have to have the server comp.
