How do I configure a WinXP computer so a Linux computer can access Internet through it?
I know this can be done since I've had it working beautifully till this morning. I was curious about the new version of Slackware 8.1, and decide it was upgrade time getting rid of old Slackware 7.
Now I have a fancy KDE 3 desktop, but no Internet connection from it
This is how it was set up when it worked:
IP: 192.168.0.20
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Stnd. gateway 192.168.0.1
I think I got the figures from Win 98 Ipconfig command, but now when I'm running WinME/Win2K sharing Internet connection with an XP computer, IP numbers are different.
The only connection I get from Slackware 8.1 is to itself, pinging 127.0.0.1 or localhost.
Slackware forum seems to be closed so anyone has an idea?
Please help me, I need to get some work done in linux!
