Set up dhcpd (http://www.isc.org/products/DHCP/) to hand out IP
information. But are you sure, you want to do this only for a single
box?

This is a good place to start:
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/SMB-HOWTO.html
also www.samba.org could be useful to read.

192.168.* is non-routable IP addresses. Which means that they oficially
does not exist on the internet. Therefore you can send traffic _from_
those addresses - but servers will not know how to return the answers.
Therefore you never get answers (= timeouts).
What you need to do, is make sure, that the linux box lies to the
internet and says 'this traffic comes from me' when it actually comes
from the Windows box. When the answer returns with the linux box as
recipient, it looks up in a table and says 'wow, this is the answer to
the windows box' - and then it silently sends it back to the Windows
box.
So the Windows box sends directly to the internet and does never
discover, that the linux box modifies all traffik. And the internet
believes to talk to the linux box and never knows, that the traffik
originally came from an invalid IP address.
This is known as Network Address translation (NAT) or IP Masquerading.
With a kernel 2.2, you can set it up like this:
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO.html
With a kernel 2.4, it is done like this:
http://netfilter.samba.org/unreliable-guides/NAT-HOWTO/index.html
Good luck.

Try a more general package name like "libstdc++-libc6.1-2"
Gives me about 14 hits.
Then click on a package description and it will list what that rpm
provides.
I.e. the top most hit (for mandrake) provides that libstdc++ version.

Subject: Gnome/X: Can no longer login under my username
Date: 03 May 2001 15:17:16 -0700
Hi: I'm using RedHat 7.0 with Gnome. Everything was running fine
until I did a CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE while running in Gnome/X under my own
login (david). Now, whenever I try to login on Gnome/X as david, the
computer acts like it's going to start Gnome, but instead it switches
to the console screen (by "console screen" I mean what you get when
you type CTRL+ALT+F1 on RedHat). However, I can login as root at
Gnome/X and it's fine.
I've tried telinit 3 followed by telinit 5, and the same thing happens
again. I've tried rebooting, but no luck. I'm guessing that when I
did CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE I must have corrupted some file which enables
Gnome/X to start under my username. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
david

I'd connect machine B to the internet and have it do translations for
machine A. There's a HOWTO document describing what to do.

Sounds like one (or more) of your init scripts has been lost or

sorry for bothering you again, but this is really important to me:
I need a tool that disables the bootflag of my /dev/hda2 at every boot.
(This partition is a suspend2disk-partition of my laptop and I cant
suspend again, if this flag is set.)
Using fdisk this is very easy: fdisk /dev/hda2 : press a, press 2, press w
...
But I want to automate this process and dont know anything about
partitiontables, so I cant write such a tool on my own. Writing a wrapper
round fdisk is not the best solution, cause if something goes wrong ..

Okay, I am just interested how you are going to separate your IP address from
the hostname. Normally an IP address has a hostname allocated to it, so I am
not sure how you can allocate an IP address without allocating a hostname as
well.

Your configuration looks good and the ip forwarding for Debian is enabled and
I presume that the appropriate ip forwarding script that debian uses was
executed. Just one quick question, what does your ipchains look like on the
box. Is there a MASQ'ing entry for the 192.168.1.0 network. There should be
a line like this being executed somewhere:
/sbin/ipchains -A forward -i ppp0 -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d 0.0.0.0/0 -j MASQ
^^^^ ---> This looks like your external
interface
It looks like everything is working, just that the Linux box doesn't know to
forward the packets from the internal interface to the external ppp
interface. Additionally, is there anyway to confirm that the box is actually
performing IP forwarding ?
Under Redhat it can be done by taking a look at the value in
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward ?
It would also be interesting to see the output of your ipchains command.
See ya

Pretty much makes sense.
KDE and GNOME are really just sets of libraries to help develop
applications; something as simple as randomizing wallpaper can be
easily scripted without any need to resort to such complexities.

Format the drive on machine A and install FreeBSD
Connect both machines to the internet and have a blast.
Linux and FreeBSD play real nice together :)
(I know that isnt really all that helpful but DAMN do I ever hate windows!)
If ya cant take that then I concur with the other guy.
Connect Linux to the internet and be a gateway for the windows box.
Look for info on ipchains or ipfilter and IP Masquerading
