sharing a windows connection with linux

tyler0485 · 01-27-2002, 04:53 PM

I can't seem to figure out how to share my 56k Windows ME internet connection with my Linux Mandrake 8.0 machine. :smash: I'm sharing the connection as a temporary solution until I get a Linux compatible modem.

well, that's a windows problem IF you're after help and not just stating a fact, like you seem to.

I am after help.

I would suggest that you go to Wingate and download wingate. They have a free demo version for 2 computers. Wingate is a proxy that will redirect all traffic for you.

On the matter how to configure Linux to use a proxy please refer to your manuals

like i said, this i snothign to do with linux, and you'd be best going elsewhere for info. I however have had nothing but annoyance from wingate / sygate when i had to use it, i found winroute vastly easier and better, as it's a router, not a proxy

Damn Mod, They ask for help sharing windoze with linux and u blow them off...

Hey Tyler, I don't have ME; but if it is anything like 98 which I think it is u need to install the ICS (Internet Connection Share) program and work it from there....(Best I can do with the info u gave) If I was u I would switch to atleast 2000 or XP. ME...Yuck!!! big security risk....Hell If u can't get 2000 drop me a line and I'll send ya a copy...

please do NOT offer to illegally copy software or such like on this forum. we do not with to be associated with it. We also don't want to be associated with windows at all.

and don't talk like that to a mod or we kick your ass.

Ohh did u know it is legal to copy any form of software in the middle east?

General
