How to Share Internernet Connection?

Libertes · 02-07-2007, 07:08 AM

Hi
I have a mandriva computer with 2 ethernet cards.
Both of them are connected to my switch.

The first card connects to internet normally.

The second card has an IP of 192.168.0.1
subnet mask of 255.255.255.0

I want a second WinXP computer to share this connection.
(This machine has ethernet card IP:192.168.0.2 subnet 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.1 also connected to same switch)

I tried "Share internet connection with other machines wizard" under "Control Center" but it does not worked

How can i share the connection?
Not : with these configurations i made a winXp-winXp internet share but cannot mandriva-winxp share
Thanks a lot.

hi acid_kewpie
i read those threads could not understand how to do it, sorry

After i follow instructions of "Share the interrnet connection with other machines"
A message occurs

"The package bind needs to be installed. Do you want to install it?"
I replied yes and then

"Could not install the bind package!"
