We are having a run on DHCP question on both list.
Using DHCP the only thing that you will be able to do is share an internet
connection.
In Windows my NIC has the following Bindings
Internet Connection Sharing (protocol)
IPX/SPX-compatable Protocol
Net BEUI
TCP/IP
And in Advanced it is set to Auto-Detect
As to the Linux side during the Mandrake installation when it asked if I
wished to configure a Network I selected DHCP. Once the installation
completed and I booted Linux I was able to connect to the internet without
having to manually enter any settings..
You will need to install the DHCP RPMs from the
installation CD because they are not installed by default.
The only other help I can give is to list my settings as shown in
Network Configuration.
