Hello everyone, First I'd like to say that im very new to Linux and I've
been 'lurking' on the list for quite some time now and I have gone and read
the archives about my problem.
I'm wanting to setup my bran spanking new LM6.1 box as a 'gateway' (not sure
if this is what it is or not) and have my '98 computer go thru it to my
cable modem to the outside world, I've read the HOWTO's and FAQ's and the LM
Archives without much help (Again im very new to Linux and most of the doc's
just were not descriptive enough for me to understand...yet) So here's my
question, If someone cant step me thru the procedure (what settings to put
in what file(s) and where those files are, Or at least give me some very
descriptive HOWTO links) with the network information im about to give I'll
be eternally grateful to the person(s) ok here's my network layout:
IP: 24.7.136.XX <- you never know who's out there ;)
nameserver1: 24.0.53.33
nameserver2: 24.0.53.34
domain: potlnd1.or.home.com
host: C4673X-X
On my '98 computer what network information do I change? I know I have to
assign it a internal and have the 'gateway' point to the Linux box, Correct?
im pretty sure I can figure the '98 part though.
I know that im basically asking to be flamed by having 'someone else do all
the work' but im just really stumped here! so if your thinking about flaming
me just remember when you were a newbie and you were stumped so you had to
ask a support group for help :)
Again thanks for all the other help I've been getting of the list (Being a
lurker that is) and keep up the great work! if there is any more
information you need please let me know! :-)
