I have suse Linux 9.0 pro on one hard disk and windows on another and
currently use grub. I have a cable modem NIC setup on my Linux disc
and works fine for RR even thought RR offers no support. I cannot get
windows to recognize the sbmodem even with the provided software cd. I
think it's because my ISP identifies my two discs as two computers.I
can use the "the on the road" dial up modem to get RR on windows. My
NIC is listed in windows as functioning with proper drivers. I was
wondering if I could make my linux disc into a proxy server for my
windows disc on the same machine.Is there a hardware router change I
could make.I'm on an Asus mb with plenty of space.It seems possible
since the signal from the ISP is the same and I doubt RR would detect
it. The ISP has always assumed I had a windows connection since they
offer no support for Linux. I use Mozilla suite in windows and Mozilla
1.7 with KDE in Linux.Is the issue that my NIC will only operate in
Linux? That would be odd since I installed it in windows first with
software, and just picked it out in Yast with Linux, plugged in the
sbmodem and was online, e-mail and all from three different ISP
including an AOL imap account from another machine.I thin RR is
picking out a static IP though they say they don't. Is it possible
that the NIC IP is different in windows than in Linux on the same
machine.They can't be using the MAC id of the modem as I have never
put it in. I am a new user of Linux and not quite used to the
terminology having been drunk on windows for so long. Is there even an
IP table? Suggestions appreciated.I have to think this through but I
was wondering if anyone else had this cable modem issue with RR
running Linux with a windows partition or seperate disc.The DHCP works
fine for the dial up modem and the network settings are right in
windows.I've sent to RR but got no reply.I'd like to come up with a
Linux solution.Seems so far to be more stable.I expect my stuff to
work right.I pay enough for it all.
