Re: [newbie] trying to connect
That is the problem I was having, and this is what ended up working for me since I had the same type of cable co. eyes watching me... Server configuration: NIC 1 = WAN = Server assigned and setup this NIC to share (ICS and this also uses NAT so your LAN workstations will communicate) When checking ipconfig you will see the IP assigned by your cable company and a class C subnet of 255.255.255.0 NIC 2 = LAN = 192.168.1.1 and subnet of 255.255.0.0 no sharing, as it is the one used to share the internet From NIC 1, and communicate with the LAN. Workstation (each IP on the LAN goes in sequential order): NIC = 192.168.1.2 Subnet 255.255.0.0 with the Gateway and DNS of 192.168.1.1 That was it... Putting them on a seperate subnet is what fixed it for me... (This was using my win 2K as the server) HTH Seraph I,d rather have it the otherway round but ATT want support it at all I tryed the other night for the longest time I,m so nw to linux couldn,t get it working even no help local just what I,ve got here ,then a couple of guys suggested I try it the other way rould thats the way they had there,s I tryed that with the same luck.I,ve never shared connection before but can sign either card to my cable modem and they work fine but there,s something I,m missing in the mandrake config shows up but want connect either way. - Original Message - From: daRcmaTTeR [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 30, 2002 4:58 AM Subject: Re: [newbie] trying to connect On Wed, 29 May 2002, s wrote: On Thursday 30 May 2002 07:32 am, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I tryed to connect direct to my cable modem with no luck then everone is suggesting just connect to the windows 2000 system(which I have in the same room) O.K with that I tryed but with about the same luck but I didn,t install samba I need to go back and install it for that to work wouldn,t I No, you won't need samba just for internet access. You'll need to set up internet connection sharing in w2k and config your nic in mandrake. But man, is that backwards or what? I haven't been following your problem, but I would try harder on the linux side first. -s amen to that! its far easier to setup connection sharing on Mandrake then on Win2K. the only problem here would be that you'd need to have the win2k box and anything else behind the mandrake box that is sharing the connection with the others acting as a gateway.

[newbie] Greetings
Hi, my name is Seraph. I've been watching the list for almost a week now, and I've been attempting to search for docs. So I could try to find some sort of info to answer what seems like it should be a simple question... Now for the scenario: I am running Mandrake 8.2 (My first real run at Linux... I tried redhat for about 2 days and couldnt stand it, butknew I wanted something other than Winblowsas a workstation/server, onlyfor the time being till I get more proficient with it. It's sitting behind my trendnet router along w/ the rest of my network. I have been able to fumble my way though so that it now is able to see the Internet, and see the rest of my network. I am however, unseen by my windows network. I can get into the win 98 machine and browse it like I was right there, and even alter files... I can see my win 2k server, but cannot log into it (separate issue). I am completely invisible to the win boxesthough. I have tried configuring and reconfiguring netconf, I choose Winbrowsing and can see them... but they can't see me. I have checked smb://my_winbox_ip and can get in that way also, so I know Sambais running. I have gone through and setup my workgroup, and even have found where to log into the workgroup. So, now I know that I'm not just spying on the workgroup, but have actually taken steps to try to join it. I am stumped as to why I am invisible. I would be proud if that was my intent, but I actually wantquite the opposite in this instance. Any help, and/or questions to the effect of... well you didn't mention anything about this. Did you check there? Would be highly helpful. The more pointed out, the more I know to look at and for. I just ask that along with the question, perhaps some sort of idea of how/what to and not to actually configure would also be nice. Oreven a source for instructions. I am not fluent w/ the man pages by any stretch of the imagination. Thanks in advance, Seraph
Re: [newbie] accesss shareing
Hi, I'm new here, but one thing that I found that worked was to put my LAN on a seperate subnet. I put what should have been an internal class c subnet to a class b. It fixed the packet colissions I was having. My cable company had the same setup where they only allowed one ip that was to be unshared and I was to purchase each aditional ip. efore I got a router that did it all for me, to simplify my life. I had 2 nics in my server and shared the connection from it to a hub and then the other boxes all set manually on the class c range IPs w/ the class b subnet. It was the only thing I found that worked to both have internet and see each other. With the internal on the same subnet as teh external, I was only ale to see the internal lan from my workstations. That was just my experience, but I hope it helps.

James Yes, but presumably you were connecting one machine. This is about connection sharing - accessing the cable connection thru another machine.
