Hi All,

I have 1 win-xp pc with 2 NICs. The first NIC has my local lan ip say 192.168.0.5

The second NIC connects to Internet (A modem with RJ-45 connector) with IP say 210.18.184.25 and gateway 210.18.184.1

While I work at this PC, I am able to ping any site/ip on internet.

Please suggest configuration of this PC which eanble me to ping a site/ip which is on internet from any other PC in my LAN. Is the same configuration work if I replace this win-xp PC with a Linux box ?

Any early suggestion is warmly appreciated.

Regards,
Ajay

Hey,

mmmm I don't quite understand what you want to do. Would you like to share that Internet connection you have to other computers on the LAN? How many computers are there in the LAN?

Hi alfredofernandeza,

Thnx for your quick response.

Actually I want a ftp upload software which runs on windows to run from any PC in my LAN.

I configured squid on my linux server to share internet but at that moment I was not able to upload anything on my ftp server which is on Internet from a windows PC.

Please suggest configuration. I have 30 PCs in my LAN.

Thnx in advance.

Ok, let me see if I'm getting things straight. You have a 30 PC LAN, in which there is a linux server and the rest are windows pcs. The linux server is running a FTP server to which you want to upload files from the other pcs on the LAN? The problem is that the windows computers, where you're using a FTP client can't connect to the server?

Hi,

I'm mentioning my configuration.

I have a linux server with squid configured. This PC has 2 NICs, one with local lan ip and another one has public ip which connect s to the modem.

In my LAN there are 30 PCs with Windos OS. Now the questions is -

How can I ping a site/ip which is outside my network, that is, which is on Internet ?

This sounds like what you are trying to do:

Normal SNATing at linux box will do this. Whats the fuss is all about.
