internet sharing xp + slackware

props666999 · 10-29-2004, 06:48 AM

i own an xp box and a slackware one . Because my dsl modem is a usb one , is attached it on the xp box . I use the windows wizards to share , my connection and from the slackware box the netconfig as dhcp . my network card works fine as a module .But there is no inernet !!! Any idea what to do to share the internet ??

thank you

Yes, take it from alot of experiance.. stay away from windows wizards.. especially that one.

Just go to your ethernet's tcpip settings in windows
ip: 192.168.0.1
subnet: 255.255.255.0
gateway and dns leave empty (unless you know the primary and secondary dns settings of your ISP)

go to your slack box
netconfig
ip: 192.168.0.2
subnet: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.0.1

That's all you need.

And set the connection on windows (the local area network one) to be shared

I did that but doesn't seem to work . I ve got a usb modem with no static ip and also dns primary and secondary server .
for the xp ethernet card i have 192.168.0.1
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
and the above promary and secondary servers

for the slackware box via netconfig -> static ip 192.168.0.2
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
default gateway 192.168.0.1

so what am i doing wrong ?

thank you

You'll probably have to add nameservers to your /etc/resolv.conf. Add the nameservers of your isp to that file. Syntax:

Code:

nameserver <ip.of.dns.1>
nameserver <ip.of.dns.n>

Can you ping your windows box ? ping -c 4 192.168.0.1 ?

i can ping from both boxes , but i don't have a nameserver

just primary and secondary dns server
