Re: [newbie] internet sharing help needed
Hi Franki, It was late and I was getting tired when I tried it last. You are, of course correct about gShield just being a script. I was getting confused with the tar file configuration GUI that is an optional extra, which has to be made. Anyway, here is a brief what I did for anyone else reading this. Got the GUI to compile and install AFTER placing gShield scripts in /etc/firewall and editing gShield.conf file to suit my IP ranges. Fired it up and amazing... it started to work right away :) Now... last few questions for this query... Can I now uninstall shorewall from this machine. it isnt running anyway and I don't ever plan to use it EVER again after the last few weeks of grief it has caused me? ;-) How do get the gShield.rc script to be executed on booting the machine rather than opening up a console as su and typing /etc/firewall/gShield.rc each time? regards magnet = On Tuesday 03 Dec 2002 6:19 am, Franki wrote: There is no compilation of gShield.. its just shell scripts.. just download the tarball from their site.. uncompress it (if you have midnight commander you can just press enter over the tarball to enter it and just copy the stuff into /etc/firewall with F5. if you don't have mc.. you should, urpmi mc) , and dump the lot in /etc/firewall then have a look in /etc/firewall/gShield.conf Possibly the best config file I have seen for simplicity.. it tells you the options you can use, and the defaults are most often correct..

What is your connection??? When I had dialup..

Re: [newbie] internet sharing help needed
I can only get damp-string services here, so it's a bog slow 56k connection here :( Didn't really want to start it up every time I make a connection, but I'd prefer to have it running at boot time. Looks like it will have to be an entry in etc/rd.d/rc.local. The GUI is quite comprehensive and has mouse pop-over help for almost all the entries you can make from it. Seems well thought out. I'd say it was worth a look at if you are interested, although it isn't strictly necessary to getting gShield up and running. You can achieve the same from just loading the config file into vi. regards magnet On Tuesday 03 Dec 2002 4:27 pm, Franki wrote: What is your connection??? When I had dialup..

[newbie] Internet sharing problems.
Hi! A few days ago I got my Internet connection working under Mandrake. Now I want to share my Internet connection with my other PC. Under Windows XP it is working correctly so the hardware setup is okay. I can't use the Internet from my second PC I can however ping 192.168.0.1 (The server) and even better I can ping the 2nd network card which is installed in the server from the client! I even can do a ping to www.google.com for example the name is translated to an IP-address (is that the DNS server???) but the ping doesn't come through. So the translation is there but the real ping isn't working :-( Anybody has any ideas?

Re: [newbie] Internet sharing problems.
Sounds like you have set it up correctly but hit a known bug in 8.1 Here is the solution from the Mandrake errata page: Error scenario: Internet Connection Sharing (which can be configured from the Mandrake Control Center) will be setup correctly, but does not work after rebooting the system. Why: The default firewall configuration flushes the forwarding rules set up at the beginning of the boot. It happens only if you did not setup the Tiny Firewall from the Mandrake Control Center. Solution: Because the default firewall configuration does nothing but remove existing rules, you can simply remove the instructions to do this by removing, as root, the /etc/sysconfig/iptables file (rm /etc/sysconfig/iptables). If you have configured the Tiny Firewall, this problem will not affect your system. HTH Brian On Sat, 2002-03-23 at 22:50, Drosera wrote: Hi!

Re: [newbie] Internet sharing problems.
Oops, just realised looking at an earlier post that you are using 8.2 where the 8.1 errata presumably doesn't apply. Sounds like a similar issue though. Have you set up a firewall? If not: 1. You probably should 2. It's likely to fix the problem. Brian On Sat, 2002-03-23 at 22:50, Drosera wrote: Hi! A few days ago I got my Internet connection working under Mandrake.

Hi... I want my windows laptop to be the gateway to allow my linux machines to connect to the internet. I also need each machine to be able to ftp to any other machine thro the ethernet cables and hub. (cat5e 100mbps) I'm going mad here trying to find non-confusing information to set this up.

RE: [newbie] internet sharing setup
I have network setup here, and if I dialup with the linux box, (which is the norm) I can access it with any other windows and linux box's,, and if I dialup with my laptop (win2000) I can change the gateway settings in the other machines, and they can share that connection.. in TCP in any of the other machines, (non gateway) I usually assign them a static IP unless there is some reason to use dynamic.. and in the gateway setting of each machine. I specify the ip of the dialup box, in your case 192.168.0.1 (in my case 192.168.0.2 (linux doesn't need to be 1) you want to be looking in /etc/syscofig/network-scripts look in ifcfg-etho and set an ip address in there.. something like IPADDR=192.168.0.4 then in /etc/sysconfig/network make sure the gateway is set to the IP of your dialup box, (in your case 192.168.0.1) then set your proxy in the browser settings, and you should be set to go.. assuming that your ME box is setup to share its connection properly.. I was win2000 on my laptop,, I have ME, (got for free) never opened the box, don't like ME. but the principles apply.. The reason that most people query your setup with ME, is that linux is far more secure as a gateway box.. each to his own.. if you have a windows firewall running on your windows box, like Tiny firewall or Zone alarm, you may have problems getting your sharing working. linux has no such problems running a firewall on the NAT box, (I use and recommend gShield) That should be enough to get you started anyway... rgds frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of magnet Sent: Saturday, 8 December 2001 5:07 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] internet sharing setup I had a sneeky feeling i'd get a debate rather than an answer on this one The setup is for a reason, hence the carefully chosen wording of the request.

RE: [newbie] internet sharing setup
First: Are all three machines members of the same workgroup? Are you SURE that you've defined the Workgroup name in Samba the SAME as that used on your other Winblows boxes? Second: When you log into windows you are asked for a user name and password. This user name and password, gets passed to Samba whenever you connect to a share and browse the network. Thus a Linux/Unix account AND a corresponding Samba account must exist for each of these login name/password pairs. I.E. you need to use smbadduser and smbpasswd to add the SAMBA users to Linux's SAMBA user/password lists. ALWAYS double check this using SMBCLIENT smbclient -L LINUXBOX -U WINUSER Asks the Samba Linuxbox, to log in as WINUSER and present the shares. When you configured SAMBA, you should have also enabled the NMB component and enabled SAMBA to be the BROWSE MASTER for your network or domain. This is what presents the shares to the Winblows workstations. (the icons). If you havent increase the OS LEVEL in samba, the browse master will be decided by election amoung your computers (REALLY they vote!). When things change the browse list(s) dissappear for awhile until things get sorted out again. If your Linux box is up all the time, make it the BROWSE MASTER so that things will not keep shifting and disappearing. Did you also remember to define the DEVICES (aka IP ADDRESSES) using the INTERFACES = Line? If not Samba will not broadcast it's information until something nudges it. -JMS |-Original Message- |From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Lee Roberts |Sent: Friday, December 07, 2001 5:40 PM |To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |Subject: Re: [newbie] internet sharing setup | | |At 02:52 PM 12/7/2001 -0500, Ed Tharp wrote: | |why ftp? could use samba and be up and running and sharing files and |drives |and printers w/ the winders boxes in no time? | |Speaking of Samba, I get the icon for the Linux box to show |up on my Win2K Win95 clients but I can't browse the Linux |box.

[newbie] internet sharing(laptop)
Dear All, About a month ago I asked about how to network between my PC with LM8 and my Compaq Presario 1700T with dualboot Windows98 and LM8. I have not had the time to do anything towards this yet. I was told that Drakgateway would be good for internet sharing between my Windows 98 and LM8 both on my laptop as dualboot. The problem is that I discovered I have a Compaq 56 KV90 HCF MiniPCI modem with the Conexant chip I believe. It looks like there is no driver available for this, but one is being worked on by Conexant and is supposed to be available by the end of this year. Has anyone been able to get this winmodem to work anyway? It seems like some have from certain drivers and tweaking. If you have one working on your laptop could you tell me what you did to get it to work? I would appreciate any help here. I, also, have a Compaq 10_100 MiniPCI Ethernet NIC installed which is used when I connect my laptop to my cable internet. Usually I use the cable internet with LM8 on my PC which works great. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you, Marcia Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Hello all, I did a clean install of lm8.1 from downloaded ios's esterday, and everything seemed to work ok except interne sharing. The linux box dialed in ok and could access the net but my windows boxes could not. I thought the iso's might have been corrupted, so I reinstalled lm8.0. Now I can login from windows, and the internet sharing works, but dies after about 10 min. The connection is still active, and if I re run the internet connection sharing wizard, it starts working again. any ideas on what might be going on?

[newbie] Internet Sharing
Hi Guys Here's what I hope is not a stupid question. I have attempted to set up connection sharing under mandrake 8. I see it has allocated 192.168.0.1 as et0 IP address. The default gateway is also set as 192.168.0.1. I would like to connect my wifes machine to the 'net using my Mandrake machine as the proxy and gateway. I am able to ping the Linux box from the 'doze machine, as well as ping the 'doze machine from Linux. What else is required to set this up. I don't mind if the 'doze mail stuff is collected directly from our ISP although ultimately, because I use the Linux box exclusively, I would like all our mail collected using qmail or something and distributed upon request to OE on 'doze and KMail on my machine. The first hurdle though is getting Linux to dial up when requested by the Windows machine. Any help will be much appreciated. FWIW when setting up the connection sharing I was prompted for disk 1 and stuff like IPChains and Bind was installed. Thanks and have a great day. Regards Mark A -- Mark R.

Re: [newbie] Internet sharing
OK, Rob, here goes:
It IS a Win98 server, but I want the box to be a Linux server feeding a
Win98 client, with DSL
coming into one ethernet card (from a signal via a DSL modem), which in turn
feeds an internal
hub/second ethernet card, which then routes the signal to the Win98 client
box.
So my server box requires DHCP to access the internet. Of course ICS
automagically uses
DHCP for all settings (and it works great) . . .
Why bother? you may ask. Simple: My roommate uses Win98 happily, while I
prefer Linux,
so I have to "shutdown -r now" and dual-boot back into Win98 whenever he's
ready to cruise
via our little LAN. By the way, I have no problems accessing the internet
using Linux, as my
PC was configured to use DHCP. So as a standalone workstation, it accesses
the internet
just fine using either OS.
Are the two NICs in the Linux box (Windows98 server, too?) set to
192.186.0.1 and .2?
No. Win98 uses DHCP, which is standard for ICS. I'm mentioning the static
IP addresses
anticipating that they need to be explicitly set for Linux when the LAN is
set up. The IP
addresses are the standard 192.168.0.1 for the server and 192.168.0.2 for
the client, not
xxx.186.x.x as I incorrectly stated earlier.
Why is this? Is one of them your DSL connection and the other for the LAN?
Yes.
Then you have a client (98, too?) with DHCP set
Yes.
. . . generally taking the 192.186.0.2 (.3?) IP on your LAN?
No. I'm guessing that I need to set static IP addresses for this to work
with Linux, as you
correctly pointed out (at least with IPMasq). There must be SOME way to
make this work.
This is how I envision the Linux setup:
{Internet}=xDSL using DHCP [linux server (192.168.0.1)]=[win98 client
(192.168.0.2 )]
And here is what it is now, with Win98/ICS:
{Internet}= xDSL using DHCP [win98 server (DHCP)]=[win98 client (DHCP)]

Then you have a client (98, too?) with DHCP set generally taking the 192.186.0.2 (.3?) IP on your LAN? Please try to explain this in a little bit greater detail, explain where the internet is coming into your LAN and where... and then how your LAN is set up. I have been told that IP Masq. requires static IPs on your LAN, so you can't use DHCP. I haven't been able to get it to work becuase I also use 98SE's ICS on another computer on the LAN, so this one is at 192.168.0.2 and is set by DHCP Try to explain how everything is set up in as much detail as possible...

Here's my situation: Currently, I use a Win98 server and a Win98 client on a DSL connection, which is working fine using DHCP. I have two ethernet cards (both recognized automatically and correctly by hardDrake) and the client also has an ethernet card. I've set eth0 to 192.186.0.1 and eth1 as 192.186.0.2. Eth0 is also set to DHCP. I'm using two hard drives, with Win98 on one, Mandrake on the other, and my Linux setup works just fine, other than the internet sharing. I'm able to cruise the 'net just fine when using Linux, btw, using DHCP. I would prefer the server use Mandrake 7.1. Perhaps I don't have the needed sustained concentration or intelligence, but I'm really flopping around like a fish out of water here. I suspect my main problem are that there are too many possibilities: both correct and incorrect! Besides this basic problem, I would like to know more about programming in Ocaml . . .

[newbie] internet sharing.
Hello everyone. I'm having a small problem with letting some of my windows programs access the internet through linux. I have followed the Micro-lan thing on mandrakeuser.org and also have samba going for what I need. Only one thing. I can't get netmeeting or napster to work over the network. With napster it asked me for some proxy servers or something. Net Meeting is really weird cause I can get a chat going however I cannot receive video or sound from anyone else. I can live without napster on the windows box (cause theres a clone for linux) but I use net meeting alot to talk with family and friends out of state, well use it for video anyway, the audio quality is literally sickening. I can currently browse the internet with Any browser from the windows box. Also can receive mail. Access ftp sites. The two machines are 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2 and I have a dial up so the dynamic ip has been working and still is with the windows box. I'm hoping someone here co! uld help me out. I've used linux for over a year, but I'm really new to networking. I'm reading the ipchains howto as I type. Thankx for any and all help. Btw I'm using Win98se and Mandrake7.1. -- Do you do Linux? :) Get your FREE @linuxstart.com email address at: http://www.linuxstart.com

You just have to use ipchains to handle ip masquerading and ip forwarding between your network and the internet. Read the ip-masquerade and ipchains HOWTOs and also the manual page of ipchains, and you should be ready to do what you want. HTH Flupke
