Re: I'm Wireless!
I had a fairly similar experience with the Linksys and SMC cards (which apparently both use the same chipset). See http://www.linux-wlan.com/linux-wlan/ for their drivers, and then follow Thomas' directions, below. -Ken On Fri, 28 Sep 2001, Thomas M.

IP-MASQ
I've finally got two machines on the 'net behind one public IP address. The trick seems to be to remember that everything you read about setting up your lan and everything you read about setting up DSL assume that you're using eth0. Once you decide which interface is local and which faces the 'net and change the defaults on that setup to be eth1, it just works. ** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following text in the *body* (*not* the subject line) of the letter: unsubscribe gnhlug **

Re: I'm Wireless!
Sorry guys (and gal[s]), my mouse must've spazed when I sent that (and *it* accidently clicked the HTML button instead of the Plain Text button). Or my eyes, or my brain, or maybe it was just me. Anyway, it was unintentional. Well people, enjoy your last free weekend before HossTraders! --Bruce DeiselMan wrote, expressing the concern of many others: Um, Bruce ?
