Hi, í´ve read the threads about throubles with analogx proxy and linux boxes, however, i´ven´t luck with my problem.

I have a win2000 box, with a ADSL connection to Internet. It has 2 network cards

The First One with the real IP, gateway and DNS settings of the ISP.

The Second One with:

IP: 169.254.102.4
NetMask: 255.255.0.0
and without Static Gateway or DNS

Analogx is set in the WIN box:
Proxy Binding
169.254.102.4

Now, my linux box is set:
IP: 169.254.254.187
NetMask: 255.255.0.0
Gateway:169.254.102.4
DNS: the same of the win box (statics IPs)

My problem is that i can ping the win box (169.254.102.4) and the linux box itself, but i can reach another ip outsite of 169.254.102.4. Also i can´t access the DNS or Internet.

I read the solution: change the proxy and use NAT32 insted, but i can´t change anything in the winbox (it´s forbitten).


What can i do ?

thanks

Did you assign that 169 IP address yourself on windows?

That's the sort of IP windows automatically assigns to an interface when it hasn't managed to set up networking properly.

You'll have to be an administrator or have appropriate permissions to change network settings in windows 2000

Once you can do that give the windows a static IP 192.168.0.1 subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and the linux 192.168.0.2 subnet mask 255.255.255.0
along with the other settings required taking into account the change in IP's

Have you thought of just using windows internet connection sharing instead? Those 192 IP's will stand good for it.

I´m going to change it, in the W2000 box it´s installed the ZoneAlarm Firewall, i have to include those IPs there too ?

Where do i configure the windows internet connection sharing, in the net card on the ADSL or the card on the home network ?

Thanks a lot,

I´m going to change the IPs

i change the IPs of the W2000 box (192.168.0.1) and the linux box (192.168.0.2)

Also i turn off the zone alarm fire wall in the W2000.

Reactivate the net card of my linux but i´m can´t reach behond the 192.168.0.1, i recive a Destination Host Unreacheble when i ping some IP from Internet.

As long as you can ping from the linux machine to the windows one at the moment it's ok.

Basically in windows run the Network Connection wizard again if that's not right just look in windows help, search for ICS as I can't remember the exact place and follow the steps to activate it.

On the Linux one the settings should be

IP 192.168.0.2
Subnet 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.0.1

DNS

Well, you can try 192.168.0.1

If that don't work put in your ISP DNS Servers

Main thing at the moment is to be able to ping somewhere on the internet

You can reactivate Zone Alarm once it's working which I would and put the internal IP's into the trusted zone


It should be the Net Card on the ADSL you share, it's been a long time

Hi, it´s a new problem here. In the laptop also a have installed WinXP, so i try to set the same configuration there, but now, i can´t see the W2000 from the XP. I put exacly the same configuration:
IP. 192.168.0.2
Mask: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.0.1
DNS: 192.168.0.1

Before the changes, the XP box use DHCP (however, the W2000 isn´t a DHCP, so i don´t undestand why it works)

So, ... i want to make it works in WinXP and later in Linux,

I register the IP range in the ZoneAlarm Firewall.

:-/

Thanks for your pacience

Help, turning into www.windowsquestions.org

I assume before then you were connecting to the internet from the laptop via the other windows computer?

If you were and were'nt using Anolog X you were probably already using ICS especially as you say it got it's IP via DHCP. Windows ICS has a DHCP server built in so perhaps that explains that, for the moment though concentrate on the one thing getting linux via windows

If you have ICS up and running you could actually have just set the linux one to get an IP address by DHCP but I went for static as some people seem to have trouble with it and linux (whether self-inflicted I'm not sure)

How is the initial setup linux -> windows doing ? with and without Zone Alarm activated.

Now the situation is that the WinXP/Linux box can ping the W2000 box (192.168.0.1) but it can´t see Internet.

When you say it can't see the internet you mean it can't

ping www.yahoo.com

?

or
ping 216.109.125.65

yes, i make the ping www.yahoo.com and...
"ping request could not find host www.yahoo.com. Please ckeck the name and try again"

Try doing it by IP address above

i make
ping 192.168.0.1 : it works, the XP box see the W2000

ping 196.40.17.3 (IP from some server in Costa Rica),
: Request time out. :-/

Back to the beginning.

The settings I'm pretty sure are good for your laptop either booted as linux or windows an issue is dns but that's irrelevant for now.

I'll go through the steps for windows 2000 one as far as I can remember and make a change



On the network card on win 2000 connected to the laptop forget about static changing it to get an IP by DHCP (which might bring us back to why you had 169 range of addresses initially)

Run the Internet Connection Sharing Wizard again

Reboot the computer

Turn off Zone Alarm if it's back on again

if pinging the external IP address from laptop still doesn't work




Open the windows command line and do ipconfig/all

It Works !!!
The problem was the net card connected to Internet.

I shared that connection (just like you said) and i reactivate the card of the Linux box.

Works in XP and Linux both.
So, the steps are:

1. Configure the Net Card with the Internet connection (ISP give the IPs). Share this connection.

2. Configure the Net Card to the home network with the 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0 IP and Netmask

3. Configure the clients with the 192.168.0.x / 255.255.255.0 IP and netmask. The gateway and DNS are 192.168.0.1.

And that´s it

So, now i´m going to set the AlarmZone and see what happen.

Thanks a lot.

The ZoneAlarm Test fail When I started the Linux box can´t reach Internet.

In the ZoneAlarm i have this configuration:

The Network of the ISP
The Home Network range 192.168.0.0 / 255.255.255.0
The Range 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.0.255
