Hi all,
This may be a fruitless endeavour, but I was wondering if it is
possible
to share an internet connection across a home LAN, when there is no actual
server box.
To explain: We recently got a cable modem, and we are routing it through a
Windows 2000 box (effectively a router, with one NIC for the Modem, and one
NIC for the LAN) in our hall by simply using DHCP (automatic allocation of
IP by server) on all the Windows boxes, with Internet Connection Sharing
turned on. The router box is simply set to have it's own base IP on the
LAN
NIC, and Windows 2000 automatically starts a DHCP server for the rest of
the
machines. The other router NIC is set to DHCP in order to use the Cable
Modem.
Is it possible to obtain an Internet connection through this router box
simply by turning on "dynamic" IP in Genesis, for my Ariadne 2 NIC? (As I
have tried that, with no success) What should I do in order to access the
internet through this setup? Or is it even possible? Do we need a proper
Gateway Server set up?
I recently setup QNX RtP to access the internet through the router box,
simply by setting it's Network settings to DHCP, and ignoring the Dial-up
setup...
Is it this simple to set up my Amiga to to the same thing? Through
Genesis?
Or even (if I have to buy it) Miami Dx?
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Glenn Davidson
