Hello,
I have bother you smart people a lot on this subject. Anyways, I have a laptop with Windows 2000 and Linux Redhat 7. I have @home cable services and I need help on getting on the internet with it. Now, the laptop that has the Linux 7 and Win2k is a client of my network. The server that is has the internet connection on it runs win98se. The NIC card that is in the laptop, is a Xircom Cardbus Ethernet 100+ Modem 56 (etherent interface). In Linux, this is I think called the eth 0. That would be the card taht accesses the home network and then get internet sharing from the win98 box. Right? So could someone please help me on getting on the internet with @home cable through a networked computer? Thank you so very much.:smash:

If your Internet 'router' is going to be a Win9x box you'll need some proxy software for it (there used to be lots out there) or try and mangle it up real good with 'internet connection sharing', a subject I know very little about.

Once you get that box set up as the gateway, you can set up your notebook (Win2K or RH) to use the gateway.

You'd be better off using the ICS in Windows 2000 than in Windows 98SE but if thats what you are going to use then as long as everything is setup right on the Server side (Win98SE) then all you need to do is have windows 2000 and Linux setup for DHCP. The windows 98 machine should automatically assign them a IP and all the extra info

if i use ICS on my windows 2000 box, will it be easier in linux?

I think windows 2000's ICS is far easier to setup. Besides that what I used until I got my router about a week ago.
