hi

if u r using intrnet connection sharing on winXP

then setup ip address in the the linux box to be obatined automatically
restart ur network service

and u can access the internet through winXp

and please do not go for double posting!!!
go for edit button if u want to edit something

regards

im kind new to this linux stuff, could u plz give me steps on how to do this?, my desktop computer

is the one with the main internet connection (running winxp), and my laptop is connected to it. so

in order for me to sharing the conection i setted up a proxy server on my desktop comp, but i

dont know how to get my laptop to see the proxy.

hi
just do this
share the internet connection from the Xp machine(rifgt click on connection,go to advanced and choose share his connection),it will make the ip adresss of the win machine as
192.168.0.1


then on ur linux machine set the setings of eth0 to get ip adress automatically
u can do this by

vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

set the text there
-------------
DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
-----------------

#service network restart

and u r done
open up a web browser--mozilla, konqueror,etc etc


i am using this kind of setup only

regards

PLZ SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!
 

is this suppose to work with suse 9.1? cuz i browse to that folder and i dont see any file title "ifcfg-eth0"

Please provide a lot more details: what actual commands are you running, what system messages are you seeing, etc. I know it can be frustrating but without specific details/background about your situation, it's tough to offer any meaningful advice. -- J.W.

hi
if u cannot find that folder u need to see how u can put ur eth0 to obtain ip adresses automatically

go to network settting in ur suse dektopmaybe there u will find it

regards

im new to this didnt run any command, just a few proxy setting, and when i try to connect it just say cant find site.

open a command prompt

then type:

ifconfig -a

then post the output here

by the way my linux box (running suse 91.) is behind a proxy server with the ip address of

24.156.0.1 por 6588, i am using analogX proxy, my desktop comp is directly connected to the

internet and my laptop is connected to the desktop.

Why do you need an IPv6 interface?

Also I see no eth interface that may be you problem

i dont know why the IPv6 is there and wat its use for, this is a fresh install of suse 9.1, i've work

with red hat b4 and the set up was easier than suse i think. but if u can help me thru this

problems by steps, i would really appreciated :). becuz im a total newbie at this.

sorry if i missed that, but how are you connecting to the internet?
