Hi all, Today I've bought a laptop FujitsuSiemens E7110 with wireless lan, modem and network card. It came with winXP. I've 3 computers. a server running gentoo linux and two others (one for my mum and other for my little brother) running windows. My server has 3 netword cards. eth0 - Home LAN eth1 - Laptop PC eth2 - Internet
My server PC eth0 is 192.168.0.1, eth1 is 192.168.0.4 and eth2 is dynamic. With IPtables I provide internet to the windows machines 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.3.The line I have is: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth2 -j MASQUERADE Now, since my laptop has a network card I just want to connect it to eth1 in the server (a card already reserved for my laptop). eth0 connects to an ethernet LAN with coaxial cable. eth1 is a RJ45 cable connecting directly to the laptop network card. I would like laptop to access network card through my server. Do I need to modify anything on the server to share internet to the laptop? Laptop comes with winXP, I already resized partition to install Gentoo. But I need a network connection to install gentoo from stage 1, so I'll have to configure it also on the laptop. Any ideas on how to do this? I'm noticing with ethereal in server that if I ping 192.168.0.4 from laptop my server won't answer and If I ping 192.168.0.5 (laptop) from server nothing returns also. I'd like any ideas or oppinions on this. Best regards, Paulo J. Matos -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
