I read the firewall howto (which is how i got internet sharing working), but I wasn't
really looking into different distributions. Here's the deal:
I have a RH6.1 machine (Orion) that is hooked up to my school's network. I have a
win98 machine (Chamelion) hooked up to Orion. I have internet sharing working, but I
want to be able to see the school's network in my win98 network neighborhood through
Orion. My school is on a 10.x.x.x network with it's own DHCP with netmask
255.255.255.0 and my network is on a 192.168.2.x network with netmask 255.255.255.0
I've edited the /etc/lmhosts file like this:
192.168.2.1 linuxserver.school.edu
10.1.4.201 linuxserver.school.edu
192.168.2.10 linuxserverclient.school.edu
Here's what I currently have in my /etc/smb.conf file:
wins support = yes
;wins server = 168.28.176.11
wins proxy = yes
dns proxy = no
Here's what I have in my network properties on my win98 client:
DNS Configuration- Enable DNS
Host: linuxserverclient Domain: school.edu
DNS Server Search Order (all the addresses found in /etc/resolv.conf on
linuxserver)
168.28.176.11
168.28.176.253
168.28.176.254
Gateway-
Installed gateways: 192.168.2.1 (address of linuxserver)
WINS Configuration (Enable WINS Resolution)
WINS Server Search Order:
168.28.176.253
168.28.176.254
192.168.2.1
IP Address- Specify an IP address (I have dhcpd running on linuxserver)
I've also added my server in my client's \windows\hosts.sam, renamed it to hosts, but
no go.
Thanks for all of your help so far, I just wanna get this going so I can access the
other computers.

Read the Firewall HowTo (at
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Firewall-HOWTO.html) for the basics, including
use of ipfwadm (kernel 2.0.x) and ipchains (kernel 2.2.x) for firewalling.
There are a bunch of specialized, small Linux distributions that are
designed to turn old equipment (a 486/40 with 16 mB RAM, for example) into a
dedicated router/firewall. One such is Linux Router Project (LRP). Even if
you end up using a full-size Linux distribution, you'll benefit from looking
at this, or one of the others, to see how it's done.
Best URL to start looking is http://lrp.c0wz.com . Also look around for
Coyote (http://www.coyotelinux.com/coyote.html), Freesco
(http://www.freesco.org/), and several others (try the list at
http://kernelnotes.org/dist-index.html).
