RE: [newbie] LAN connectivity
Not enough information. Your explanation is a little terse. Have you enabled routing? Have you set up Masq? What are the IP's involved and all pertinent data. What lines did you add for Masq? Did you read the Masq howto? Did you understand it heh... I'm being facetious... (hey it IS complex, but you only need the simple example to get you going... worry about firewall rules later...) What/where is your DNS? Etc., etc., etc. -JMS |-Original Message- |From: Joe Lore [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] |Sent: Sunday, June 18, 2000 11:38 AM |To: Newbie@Linux-Mandrake.

[newbie] LAN connectivity
HI, I am using Mandrake 7.1 and I am having trouble getting connectivity to the net through my LAN. I currently use a Win 98 SE box with internet sharing to provide net to the entire LAN, however, when I provide the IP for that box as the default gateway it just simply does not work. Has anyone successfully done this, if so what should I be using where for settings, if not can anyone give me some tips on where to begin. Thanks Joe
Re: [newbie] LAN connectivity
Hi Joe, Linux is so much better at sharing internet connections than windows...why not use the Linux box for that? If you need to use the Win98SE ... you will probably have to use proxies. So much cleaner with ipchains. No proxies server...just pass/allow and deny as needed. Much easier, at least I think so. There is an ipchains howto out there that explains it, if you are interested in switching. But if not, you will have to figure out the different proxies and set up proxies for your connection. There may be one other problem...I think the Win98SE internet sharing is only between Win98SE machines. I think I remember hearing that if you had a Win95/98 or Win3.x on your network that they would have to be upgraded or not be able to share the network with the Win98SE machine. They may have fixed this, but I believe that is how it is. When I was in Win98, I opted for Proxyserver by AnalogX, very cool program. And since we had several email addresses, we used older version of Wingate (single user was free). Linux box, Win95, and a Win3.x were configured to use the proxies as laid out in Wingate and Proxyserver. It was all free. So much easier now with ipchains...and it doesn't cost anything either. Just a few thoughts on it...but remember, I too am a newbie. Bambi Joe Lore wrote: HI, I am using Mandrake 7.1 and I am having trouble getting connectivity to the net through my LAN.

RE: [newbie] LAN connectivity
I saw the potion to set proxies in the install but now I cannot seem to find them. Where can I set the proxies?

Re: [newbie] LAN connectivity
Can't help you there Joe, do not have Win98SE so I do not have this setup that is unique to SE. Like I was saying, I used third party programs to accomplish the same thing since my windows box was the one with the modem. Now I am on Linux and we use ipchains to accompish all of this so much easier. Client boxes, no matter what type of OS, do not have to setup proxies to accomplish the connections...connection is direct through ipchainsno more problems with socks protocols either. Sorry.
