I don't what u meant, but I have shared on windows my INTERNET.
on one of my clients, i have both OS redhat and xp, when i logon to xp every thing is fine, the INTERNET is shared and it worked, but when i login to redhat, i cant browse the net.
back to the subject:
first of all: when i boot my system this what i get:
could not lookup internet address for localhost.
this will prevent GNOME from opertaing correctly.
it may be possible to correct the probelm adding localhost to the file /etc/hosts.
second, dont i have to confirm the OS that my internet is shared from other computer.
my server which is having tow ip when for the modem(auto) ex 10.110.78.220 i get network unreachable
when i ping 192.168.0.1 which is my second eth i also get network unreachable.
It doesn't look like you have any configured network cards on your linux machine. the lo interface is your Local Loopback (you need to leave that the way it is.)
Try the command "ifconfig eth0" does it come back with any errors?
If no errors try "ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0" and then try to ping that interface to make sure its working "ping 192.168.0.2"... if that works see if you can ping your gateway "ping 192.168.0.1" to see if you get a responce.
