[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? I allready tried the Internet Sharing wizard but that doesn't work :-( Hope on some positive answers :-) Greets and thanks in advance, Drosera. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

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.
