Internet Conection Sharing

Bobymc · 05-03-2006, 02:57 PM

Hi,I'd difficulties on bringging up the DialUp from RedHat 7.3 to Win2000, but it's OK if I browse from W2000 with the LINUX as the Dial Up SERVER.All the Protocol looks OK to me.Do ya have any clue.?

you need to actually explain what you're doing in enough detail for us to understand. you've said very little about your architecture and what you want to achieve.

please reframe your question

your question is does not look clear to me

OK, I have this window 2K Runing on PIII and Red HAT 7.3 on P4 they're networked.I browse the net from P3 with LAN as LINUX is the SERVER dialing to the PROVIDER,when I type HTTP addres from P3 through the browser the LINUX bring the modem UP wich dial the PROVIDER this allow me surfing the NET.Everything works allright,but when I REVERSE the LINUX as the workstation win2K does nothing.....I dont use firewall/PROXY they're plain conection.What seems to be wrong?

So you want to share the connection from the windows Server to linux

then u need to enable internet connection sharing for the connection that you are using to dial up in windows

I did that//I know what you mean.
What I want now is LINUX as workstation and window as the server(dialing the NET)//ICS,IP/TCP-IP everthing, is OK.//WINDOW does nothing,it stays quiet/doesnt work//HOW COME???

you're really making no sense mate. i'm sure you're trying your best at english, but i really do not understand what you are asking. the window does nothing? what window??

Do you want to say that you cannot connect to the internet when dialing from the Windows machine?

Something like that,window machine do the dialing when I browse from LINUX machine.Any window is OK I supposed.

Lemme make it clear to you that the Window machine has the dial up modem,is what I want now.

When the LINUX machine had the dial up modem it works out just fine.

The opposite doesnt.This should be very clear question.........

well it's not clear, i promise you....

essentially it looks like you're saying that your windows machine is not sharing the connection with linux. so there are two options...

1) Linux box's network is configured correctly - make it use the windows box as the default gateway
2) Windows ICS is not working... can't help you there... that's just pure windows stuff.

I think I have a very good and clear question.

I know that what I want now is wierd,logically it should work.

LINUX is very good at networking.

I was just curios on window.

See ya guys.....

Well If you think that you are looking for windows problems then you should post this In a General Section.

You need to post your linux related queries here.

There is no problem with linux untill you get the dial up connection from the windows working

I know, I was wondering if there's someone could explain to such software problem/HOWTO.

Doesn't matter if I can't get fixed this ICS problem. Presumably this type of networking looks akward to my knowledge. Maybe next time I know what the solution is.
It's worth for knowledge.

You're right I should go to General LQ
