Re: [newbie] Do I nees 2 NIC for connection sharing ?
Dennis you are right, maybe I wasnt clear when i described it, it is a cat5 cable that runs frp, my NIC to the adapter in the wall ( the adapter then adpats it to a regular phone like output excuse my informal description ) If I got you right ,, I think all i have to do is set the W2K machine to have IP 10.0.0.2 and make her gateway the first machine ? I think I'm missing something here if so then where does IP masq comes in ? and where is the part where I have to set hosts files and all that ??

If you have a hub, then the wall connection goes into that at the uplink location. HTH -- Dennis M. registered linux user # 180842 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Anyhoo, try the way stated in some others post first. -- Dennis M. registered linux user # 180842 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

():-) You should really use two NICs, although I suppose it could be done with 1 One NIC needs to connect to your DSL line and have the IP that the isp gave you 10.0.0.x (i htink you said) The other NIC connects to a hub along with all your other computers. give it an ip of 192.168.1.1 (this is the gateway) Give all your other computers an ip 192.168.1.xxx with a network of 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 and a gateway of 192.168.1.1 If you are not going to have a local nameserver than set the ip hostname of all the computers on your network in each computers /etc/hosts file, include the ip hostname of the computer connected to the isp. Then you will use masquerading between the two NICs (the pc with 2 NICS) -- Gerald Waugh Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
