WinXP give me some net access

BACompTech · 09-22-2004, 02:51 AM

I am running two systems on a typical wired LAN (Ethernet RJ-45). One system is running SuSE Linux Professional 9.1 and the other is running Windows XP. On the WinXP system I have a dial-up connection I want to give the linux box access too. Can anyone advise on this matter?

On the windows xp box enable internet connection sharing. and on the linux box point your gateway to the ip address of win xp box.

(U can also create a bridge between Dial Up connection and Ethernet connection on the Win XP Box)

Okay apparently I missed something. Where exactly should I enter the gateway information. I went under the yast and entered the gateway information on my ethernet, but it didn't work. I then tried to bridge the network connections, but it will not allow me to do so. It tells me I must select two connections that are not using internet connection sharing or firewall and neither connection is using either crappy microshaft service.
