I changed network cards and I thought you could get network card up by using "ifup eth0". I tried this and it gives me "Ignoring unknown interface eth0." I was able to get it going by using "ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up". Is there an easier way of doing this I don't want to do this every time I start my machine. If I want to connect from another box how would I do this?
I have a dialup connection and have 2 computers and would like to connect the 2nd box to the web thru the 1st box. Would I use IP tables/chains to accomplish this? I was able to ssh into each one of the boxes but I wasn't able to get to use the web on the 2nd box. Should I use dhcp on my main box? All I want to do is to be able to access the web from the 2nd box. I'm running Debian potato. Is there a Debian way to do this? I hope someone can help me with this. Thanks Tim
