[expert] Internet connection problem need help

[Ralph Dewitt]

For a number of resons including the DSL servers are not running right I have had to install the DSL modem to my windows machine. My linux and Winboxes are connected using a hub. My problem is that my linux box does not see the internet. I have only the two boxes. One is win98 the other is Linux. I have configured as follows: Linux:: eth0: IP is 192.168.0.254 Net mask is 255.255.255.0 Gateway is 192.168.0.2 Name server is set to earthlink.net with the three ip address of their DNS servers. The winbox is configured as follows: The Tcp/IP card: IP is set to 192.168.0.2 Netmask is 255.255.255.0 Wins Resolution is disabled Gateway is blank DNS is disabled. Bindings are: Client for MS networks File and Print Sharing MS Family log on IPX/SPX Can anyone help me correct what is wrong and get my linux box to the internet. By the way the DSL modem is a Fujitsu Speedport and the Win box uses WinPoET to connect to the net.  I desperatly need to get the linux box out to the internet for email and updating. Thanks in advance for your help. Ralph
