the second post is Confusing here >?
First what u need to do is make sure each machine works Independently
off a switch
just do this... Hook BOTH machine including your Cable modem Ethernet
cable, into a hub or switch, set your windows machine to obtain an
Ethernet Address automatically in the Control panel ethernet TCP/IP
Setting goto a DOS Prompt and type IPConfig /All that should tell u
whether your ISP is throwing u a Address, make sure your browser Finds
your Cable modem try to browse http:///www.msn.com or something, then
do the same for the Linux box , Setups are a little more involved with
linux and Ipchains if your using multiple ethernet Cards, some step to
Accomplish in linux are
1. Edit |/etc/conf.modules| or |/etc/modules.conf| depending on your
distribution for the proper module for the network card. For
example, to use the tulip driver on eth0 add the line |alias eth0
tulip|.
2. Edit/create the file |/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0|
to use DHCP.
Sample |ifcfg-eth0| file:
||
DEVICE=eth0
USERCTL=no
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
BROADCAST=
NETWORK=
NETMASK=
IPADDR=
3. Replace |eth0| above with |eth1| if it is the second network card
in your system.
4. Unplug the power cord for the cable modem to reset it and plug it
back in.
5. Restart the network: |/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart|
6. Run |/sbin/ifconfig| to see if you got an IP addresses. If you
assuming you have your network card to activate on bootup, as soon
as you boot your machine, you will be connected.
7. Optional: run ipchains
<http://www.linuxheadquarters.com/howto/networking/ipchains.shtml>
to share connect to rest of network without having to pay for
additional IP addresses.
