HI
I have set up linux red hat 7.0 and mandrake n7.2 < on 2 seperate machines . I am trying to connect up with the my cable conecion nic card that is on my win98 machine < normaly running wingate> so i have my server gateway 192.168.0.1 and the provider dns everywhere but nothing happens Thanks ill keep looking here any help welcome phil |
Here's an odd question
So, what I'm getting is that you are using win98 as a GATEWAY? so your cable connection is internal?
If it is, I would say: "UPGRADE A.S.A.P!!!!!!" If you have a cable modem that stands between your 98 box and the internet, simply point your linux mahines to it through a switch or a hub. Then, you won't need the 98 box as a gateway anymore. If you want a gateway for security reasons, Might I suggest IPCOP? It's a Linux firewall distro that works VERY well. Just throw it on an old box with 2 NICs and go. Pretty easy to configure. If you decide to go that route, and you need help e-mail me, or check out the forums at http://www.ipcops.com. You can get IPCOP from either ipcops.com or http://www.ipcop.org (which is the official site, by the way). Well, with that information, That'a all I can do |
