If you only have one LAN interface in your server, how will it connect both to the internet and to another computer?

As for giving Slackware a static IP, look at the manpage for ifconfig (`man ifconfig`) as well as looking at the file /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf where you can specify interface-specific options, such as DHCP or static IP addressing.

see i want 1) local ip add. like 192.168.1.254. Thru this ip client pc would communicate in lan.
2) static ip like 122.68.75.99/28. Thru this ip my server will communicate the internet.
All i need to do in a single lan card so, if i could edit the eth0 like:

eth0:0 192.168.1.254
eth0:1 122.68.75.99/28

and i need slackware command also.
how could i do that plz tell me.

If you can provide me your cell no. and mail id that will be greatfull to me.
thanks for promt reply.

Thanks

Dont you use any network devices in between your local LAN and WAN, if you have network devices like router then why cant you use NAT facility to map the local ip and public ip?

Hi,

If I get your configuration right then you have a server that is Slackware based with a single NIC as eth0. This is connected via a WAN connection on your 'spectranet' (whatever that is). You want to share this connection via your server. If you want 'NAT' then you either need to add another NIC to your server then setup NAT for your LAN via this server. Or provide another LAN device like a router to provide the NAT via the 'spectranet' device. If the 'spectranet' device has multiple ports then it's just the matter of properly setting that device up else you will need to setup as I mentioned.

You can do a LQ search as this has been covered a lot.
