Re: [newbie] Internet Connection Sharing / SSH / FTP / Shorewall Probelms.
Hiya, Thanks for the help on the previous supject, but my problems are still not solved :/ I changed to Drake 9.1 because it had a newer Kernal, and I as hoping that some of the conection sharing glitches where solved, but alas they are not. Derek, Yr Idea seemed the best, and I am presuming with "ACCEPT net fw tcp ssh" that will alllow people to SSH in from other ip addy's. The problem I am having is localy on my LAN (allthough that may have solved one future problem as my reason for going to linux is remote configuration when away from the office) I tryed adding "ACCEPT loc fw tcp ssh" Presuming that would allow the local ip range to access the SSH server, but it didnt. Its locally that i am despearing over at the moment, after the changes to shorewall and the restart it accepted the changes to "/etc/shorewall/rules" but it still wouldnt let me SSH in :( - Original Message - From: "Derek Jennings" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, May 26, 2003 4:53 PM Subject: Re: [newbie] Internet Connection Sharing / SSH / FTP / Shorewall Probelms. > Unfortunately the mandrake firewall GUI s not very smart.

Re: [newbie] Internet connection sharing with Windows?
Hi, Right, just been here with this problem. Set a specific IP addy as you had for the PC and use netmask 255.255.255.0 Disable the WINS Configuration. Add gateway to point to your linux box. Here is the part I had to change for some reason. Enable DNS Configuration. My linux hostname is linux1.local.net. For host add the first part of your machines hostname [linux1] then add the last part as the domain [local.net]. Add your gateway 192.168.0.1 into the DNS Server Search Order. Add your last part of your domain [local.net] into the DNS Suffix Search Order. This got my winME laptop to connect using the linux gateway and it has no effect on samba here, and retains your choice of static IP addresses you use. Hope this can help you. regards magnet On Sunday 08 Dec 2002 5:23 am, Ronald J. Hall wrote: > Got a 3 comp LAN.

[newbie] Internet connection sharing with Windows?
Got a 3 comp LAN. My main computer is running Linux - 56k connection and both the other comps do sharing under Mandrake v8.2 just fine. Yeah, its slow, but I let my sons browse to find school articles sometimes (with me right over their shoulders!). Anyways, my 12 year old picked up this Windows game, Earth & Beyond. Not a bad looking game but its Windows only, won't run under WineX and is *online* only. So he asked me to set it up so he could play it under Windows on his machine -> with my main Linux comp as gateway. So...I normally have static ip addressess assigned to our machines - like this: darkforce 192.168.0.1 (my main comp) darkforce2 192.168.0.2 (12 yr olds) darkforce3 192.168.0.3 (9 yr olds) I didn't have to do hardly anything for the Linux side of things to work like this. Windows won't find the 'Net like this though. I finally did the right-click Network Neighborhood/properties routine, added my IP address as gateway, and I had to pick automatically assign number. This worked. However, when I do this, I can't use Samba from my machine to access his anymore (or even ping each other). Change his settings back to a static IP - Samba works again, and we can ping each other - and he can't accesss the 'Net again. I can just change this everytime I want to use one or the other, but its a bit of a hassle (and besides that - Windows always asks for a freaking reboot everytime!) I'm sure there is a way to share connections with Windows 98SE and still use an assigned IP address with Samba? Does anyone else have a setup like this and can help?

To share the internet, I do a "X -query tux350" (name of comp) to connect to the internet-comp's X server. That way, not only do I share the internet hassle-free, but I can use the same KMail settings, Konqueror favorites/bookmarks and settings et al. It's easy to set up, and I've found my PII/350 can support 2 KDE seesions quite well (just hold the loopback filesystems though). Hope this helps!

Ok...there's been a few questions from people as to how "Internet Connection Sharing", or ICS in Windows, can be setup and utilized on a single modem, with a single ethernet card on a small network (or a home network - whatever)...well, for those that need it up and running FAST without heaps of BS and hassle, here's the skinny using IPCHAINS. Mind you that YOU are responsible for setting up the other firewall rules as each of us does our own thing...ok? Locate your ipchains script, and at the bottom of the script, add the following (and make sure to sub YOUR internet IP network where mine is - I'm using the basic 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0, but some of y'all are doing different things) /sbin/ipchains -P forward DENY /sbin/ipchains -A forward -i ppp0 -s 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 -j MASQ On your client machines, I'm assuming you're using static IP's, so make sure you add your 192.168.0.1 as the gateway, and as one of the DNS servers - the other DNS server should be the one for your ISP (main one, or you can choose from the thousands of other DNS servers out in the world if you want to be difficult) Bloody easy - and if you're in a tight spot as I've been before, and the "other" users on your home network are freaking out cuz you're mucking around in linux and they're sitting there patiently waiting for ICQ or Yahoo! Messenger to work again, at least this offers a quick fix.

Re: [newbie] internet connection sharing
Your ICS should still work with static addresses as long as they are in the 255.255.255.0 subnet i.e. they are 192.168.0.x addresses. If you look in the newbie archive I think you'll find a message to this effect from civilme from late last year. Just set up ICS on your Mandrake box, then ignore the DHCP function - think that's all that was required. BTW though - DHCP is not incompatible with what you evidently want to do. The windoze shares are all accessed by name, not by address. Stay with static addresses by all means if it is more convenient, but it shouldn't really make any diffierence unless you are not using the default subnet for some reason. cheers Brian On Tue, 2002-01-15 at 23:40, Mohammed Arafa 2 Mailing Lists wrote: > hi > > how do i set up ics without dhcp? > basically, each pc on the lan already has an ip with mapped drives to each > other and the machine with the modem has 2 hd.one windows and one linux and > i pull the power from one to the other to boot my preferred OS. > ics is set up on windows but i wanna do that on linux too but without dhcp > > tia > > > _ > Do You Yahoo!? > Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com > > > > > Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? > Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I have just dedicated one of my machines as a Linux server. Installed Mandrake 8.1 and chose server partitioning. Almost everything works great! That is it does immediately after I set up internet connection sharing, but after a server reboot I can no longer use the shared connection until I configure it again. i.e. I use the wizard in DrakConf. It tells me that this is already configured. I click on the Configure button anyway and it reruns the scripts and everything works again. Reboot and it's no go. It's a dialup connection and it still dials OK - is then accessable from the server, but not to the client machines.

[newbie] Internet Connection Sharing Wizard in Mandrake 8.0 cannot find ethernet card
Hi all, I'm (obviously) a Linux newbie, and I'm having trouble trying to configure internet connection sharing. I've got a simple 2 PC network, with my Linux machine as the server, and a windows 2000 box as a client. I've got my ADSL connection all up and running under Linux without a hitch. Linux' eth0 is working fine, with an IP of 192.168.0.1 (my ADSL conn. is USB, not ethernet). I can ping fine from Linux -> windows and back again. But, when I run the Mandrake Internet Connection Wizard, it gives me an error that it can;t find an ethernet card, check hardware setup. How can I work around this? The ethernet card & network is obviously working fine as I can ping back and forth without trouble.

[newbie] "Internet Connection sharing" causing grief with ppp.
I have installed Internet connection sharing through Drakconf on Mandarke 7.2. While my ethernet conection seems to function to the other computers and they get an allocated ip address (192.168.0.*), browsing doesnt work through ppp0 even on the linux box itself. I can ping the ip address of the modem at the other end of the ISP modem connection but thats about it. Strangely enough if i disable my eth0 connection to my other computers and restart linux and dial in the internet connection starts working again. My local ip which is mapped to my network card is 192.168.0.1 An ideas anyone? Greg Turnbull

Re: [newbie] Internet Connection Sharing
Just a thought as I use Linux to share the internet but you might try setting the Windows box serving the internet as the gateway address on the client linux box and enter the DNS information for you ISP on the Linux client. Another alternative is to use the Linux box as the internet server. Linux is indifferent as to what operating system the clients are running. (I don't know if this is an issue with Windows ICS) With IP chains and Pmfirewall. www.pointman.org I found this very easy to setup although I'm using cable I don't think it's much harder to setup with dial up. --- Matt Phelps <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I think what he was asking for is to share the > internet.

Re: [newbie] Internet Connection Sharing
I've used that to share my cable connection with a couple of Macs and it was absolutely effortless. I just set the Macs to use DHCP, then ran the "Internet Connection Sharing" command, and they were on. No rebooting needed. It shouldn't be that much harder for your Windows boxes, assuming you've set them up to use DHCP. M.
