RE: [newbie] Proxy Connection FROM 98 to Mandrake?
Linux makes this fairly simple. First, you need to get Linux to connect and exchange packets (surf) with the new ISP. While people on this list are fond of recommending KPPP. Linuxconf provides a much better way of doing it. Linuxconf also sets up everything else for you, once you understand it's quirks. It also handles configuration of resolver, and other issues... Second once this is done, you select a reserved subnet for your Win98 boxes. I.E. 192.168.0.0 is good to use. You configure Linux's eth0 interface (the lan card) to be the lowest numbered device... I.E. 192.168.0.1 with a Netmask of 255.255.255.0 gateway (blank). and turn ON routing. You add TWO lines to /etc/rc.local and you are done. Modify the Win9x TCP/IP configs, and surf away. I've posted detail instructions before on this and other lists (I hate retyping it yet again... heh...) but get your new ISP and come back here for more help. -JMS [EMAIL PROTECTED] |-Original Message- |From: Rob Ogilvie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] |Sent: Thursday, July 20, 2000 6:40 PM |To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |Subject: [newbie] Proxy Connection FROM 98 to Mandrake? | | |Help!

Re: [newbie] Proxy Connection FROM 98 to Mandrake?
Hi Rob! For me Win 98 SE ICS works for mandrake 7.02 also. I have a lan with two PC: One with Mandrake 7.02 / Win 98 SE (I call it PC2)and the other one with Win98 SE (I call it PC1). PC1 have a modem connected a dial-up line to the internet provider. I have internet access at PC2, with Win 98 and with Mandrake 7.02 (192.168.0.2) through the W98 SE PC (192.168.0.1). To do it: make the network connection according to the instructions in Setup Of A GNU/Linux/Windows9x Micro-LAN http://www.mandrakeuser.org/connect/cmlan.html PC 2 (with Mandrake 7.02): DNS: DNS of your internet provider (ISP) Gateway: 192.168.0.1 (IP address of PC1) Note: I use a fixed address with PC2 with Mandrake 7.02. I did not try if DHCP works with Win / Linux. That's it! I can browse with Netscape, I can send and receive emails and have fun with irc with Mandrake 7.02, connected to a Win 98 SE PC using ICS.
