share dial-up internet from xp to ubuntu
 

So here' s the deal: I have a linux box running ubuntu 5.04 and a windows xp box which is connected to the internet via dial-up (can't get dsl where i live and can't afford cable right now). I want to be able to share the connection with my ubuntu box but don't exactly know how to go about it. I have both computers networked through a d-link 604 router and they can ping each other so i know they are talking to each other fine. Any help would be great. :Pengy:

I guess what you have to do is get both computers to talk to each other throw private addresses (probable 192.168/16 range), make the XP box the ubuntu's default gw, share the internet connection at the XP, and that would be it.

We would like to know the details of the operation under Ubuntu 5.04
thanks
