hi, i've just finally getting my compaq laptop to do a dual boot between winxp pro and SuSe 9.1
right now i'm currently trying to get onto the internet, but it doesnt seem to be working at all. I try editing the proxy setting with my winxp proxy server ip and it still dont work, I really dont know what else to do and need serious help.
My desktop computer with the winxp pro running is the proxy server (sharing the internet connection)

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
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.
