linux & mediaone
Hi,
I have linux 6.2. I have windows 2000 and I have AT&T broadband (formerly mediaone). I dont know how to get online with linux and cable modem. Now, the computer that I am on, is a computer that is setup through my network. I am using internet sharing. Can anyone give me some help or tell me where to get some help on getting online. Please.
Thanks

couple of options
I assume you are using ICS on your Win2k box. Have you tried pointing your Linux box to your gateway (win2k machine)?
I would recomend getting a router. You can get one these days real cheap-like. It will give you more flexibility and SECURITY. I dont believe MS ICS has any firewall set or packet filtering abilities.
laters,
jason

Thanks BoBo for repling. You said that you assumed that my ICS is through my win2k box. No it is on another computer. The win2k is the client. And I am not very good with computer terms but i can do all this stuff so could you put it laymens terms please. Thanks a lot! Later

Could you describe the physical connections of your network in a little more detail.
For example:
- which computer is connected to the cable modem, and what OS is it running?
- what computer(s) connect to it, what OS they are running?
- what model(s) of network cards do you have?
- are you using a hub/switch/router in any of this?
