I am a bit of a newbie so I thought it was just me. I am using IPMasq through my RedHat 7.3 Server. Following the instructions in setting up IP Masq I then wen't to my 98SE box and set things up quickly there using the private addresses. XP was a different matter. I set up the private address and had the gateway address point to my internal NIC card (eth1). XP didn't like it and refused to cooperate. I then went to "My Network Places" and clicked on the "Set up a home or small office network" link. This brought up the "Network Setup Wizard" and I clicked through to the third page and selected option #2. After that, I tried to connect to the net and couldn't. I was able to ping all my internal boxes including the XP box. What was weird was that I couldn't ping any boxes "FROM" my XP box. I then went back to "My Network Places" and selected "View Network Connections". That brought up another window called, of course, "Network Connections". In here, I selected my connection and in the menu to the left, I selected "Repair this connection". When windows was done, I attempted to connect to the net and was successfull. Hope this helps. Vince Rodriguez P.S. I noticed that when my Linux server (RH 7.3) goes into power save mode, the network connection is lost. I have to physically touch the system to bring the connection back. Has anyone else noticed this or am I being silly? How do I turn of the power function or route around this? Thanks for any help.
