Fedora-Win95 Networking


I am in a bit of a unknown situation. I have sucessfully set up Fedora Core 1 and Windows 95 for Internet Connection Sharing.

When Windows 95 or Fedora wants internet, Fedora dials out on the serial modem connected to the Fedora computer.

The problem is, since I have been messing with Samba... the Windows 95 machine causes Fedora to intermittently connect to the internet.

Here's my setup:

Router: 192.168.1.1
Fedora: 192.168.1.2
Windows 95: 192.168.1.10

Here's Windows 95 network config for TCP/IP on the 10/100 nic:
Specify an IP address is checked:
IP address: 192.168.1.10
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

and the Enable DNS is checked...
Host: Windows
Domain: Homeshare.com

DNS:
64.242.98.8
64.242.98.2

These are the DNS settings for my ISP.

As I said... Windows did not do this until I started to setup Samba. I haven't gotten Samba completely working yet, but I am just wondering why Windows would request Internet access just because I setup some SMB shares...

Does anyone have a clue?

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
