ICS setup help! (WinXP to Mandrake 10 computer)

mike8994 · 08-14-2004, 08:19 AM

Computer A: Mandrake Linux 10; only 1 NIC with static IP (192.168.0.1); dial up modem.
Computer B: WinXP Pro; 1 NIC with static IP (192.168.0.3)

Computers can share files fine. Can ping eachother. I want to browse the internet from computer B. I ran ICS on computer A, dialed up from A and still can't browse the internet from B. On B I am using Mozilla and changed the proxy setting to look at 192.168.0.1. Tried port 80 and 3128.
What am i missing?

If you are using a proxy - I assume it is squid?

Is it running?

ps -ef | grep squid

I think squid is running but I could not say for sure. This is what it said...
[mike@Linux mike]$ ps -ef | grep squid

[mike@Linux mike]$

No - squid isn't running. That is just showing your grep for squid.

If you really want to use a proxy server you can download squid from:
http://www.squid-cache.org

There are also instructions for installing. If you get stuck just post again.

I downloaded squid and it looked like it installed fine. I read the quickstart file and got totally confused. I'm not sure what I need to change.

I still need some help in setting up the squid config file. Suggestions anyone?
Also, is there a GUI for squid?

In (what seems) a futile attempt to set up internet sharing
I tried also this today:
http://www.linuxexposed.com/modules....rder=0&thold=0

but I'm starrying already for 3 days at this linux,
whatever I try, it just won't share my internet to my other computers ...

I'm getting desperate ...
If you get it running,
PLEASE TELL ME HOW
