Lan connection crapped with Windows XP as Internet Gateway
Can anyone help? I installed Mandrake Linux v10.0 community distribution on my laptop with the profile as follow.
PIIIM 1Ghz I830 Graphic Chipset 27GB Harddisk Realtek 8139 Ethernet Interface Card I can't get an IP from my Windows XP Desktop running Internect Connection Sharing. Thus, I set the static IP but it just prompt up saying the IP is not in correct format. (192.168.0.7) Hence I do it in console: ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.6 netmask 255.255.255.0 up And I do ifconfig and got this: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:18:7D:17:3E inet addr: 192.168.0.6 Bcast 192.168.0.255 Mask: 255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::2e0::18ff:fe7d:173e/64 Scope: Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU: 1500 Metric: 1 RX packets: 1831 errors: 0 dropped: 0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets: 99 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns: 0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes: 228402 (233.0kb) TX bytes: 15004 (14.6Kb) Interrupt: 10 Base address: 0xd000 But stil, I cant get the browser to browse any website. And when I get into the Mandrake control center, in the "Monitor connections", it just say "Not connected". How can I configure it so it can surf the internet properly? or it doesnt support windows xp as an internet gateway? |
you need to set your gateway, and nameserver.
route add default gw xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx then edit /etc/resolv.conf, add nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx make sure you don't have a firewall problem. to make the gateway permanent i believe you need to edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifconf-eth0. hope that helps. good luck. |
I have tried to set the default gateway and static ip in the etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file
with the following context: DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=192.168.0.7 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=192.168.0.1 ONBOOT=yes MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=yes NEEDHOSTNAME=no But the system is unable to load any web page stil. I have successfully ping the IP of the other computer within the same network but not any outside web url. I tried to ping www.yahoo.com but it returns ping: unknown host www.yahoo.com is there something to deal with dns setting or else? |
check your firewall settings on the xp machine. did you edit your resolv.conf?
