Question Simplest way to share Linux modem with WXP?


Hi,

New to Linux and it took me a month of frustration to share a net connection with W2K. Now, after installing WXP and it not working, I'm not sure I have the strength to go through it all again. ;-)

I can ping both ways successfully, but am unable to connect to the web via IE6. When I try TCPDUMP displays the following:

15:21:58.280316 10.0.0.2.netbios-ns > 10.0.0.255.netbios-ns: NBT UDP PACKET(137)
: QUERY; REQUEST; BROADCAST
[repeated several times]
THEN:
15:22:11.082022 10.0.0.2.netbios-dgm > 10.0.0.255.netbios-dgm: NBT UDP PACKET(138)
[repeated several times]

I think this means I'm close, but I can't work out what the final steps are. The majority of the help I've found on the net assumes the modem is on the W-box.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Paul

ps.. if it helps, IPTABLES -vL displays the following:

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 5119K packets, 379M bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination

Chain FORWARD (policy DROP 0 packets, 0 bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
0 0 ACCEPT all -- ppp0 eth0 anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED
0 0 ACCEPT all -- eth0 ppp0 anywhere anywhere
0 0 LOG all -- any any anywhere anywhere LOG level warning

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 5121K packets, 352M bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination

Make sure on your XP box that you have the DNS in your devices config...otherwise you won't be able to get domain resolution

Thanks Rab,

I put in my ISP's DNS and it works now. Don't remember needing to put them in for W2K so I overlooked it completely...

Thanks again,

Paul
