Ok, here we go...
fire up DrakConf
Click -> Network Configuration
Go to -> Basic Host Information
-> for Hostname Tab| Hostname: put in the Host name from TCP/IP Properties | DNS
Configuration Tab from your winbox
Go to -> the Adapter 1 Tab (linbox)
"Primary name + Domain" should be the same as "Domain" in "DNS Configuration" of you
winbox.
"Aliases (opt)" should be blank
fill in "IP Adress" and "Netmask"
"Net Device" and "Kernel Module" should remain the same.
Click the [Accept] button
Now you're back at "Network Configurator"
Select "Name Server Specification (DNS)"
Fill in "IP of name server 1" & "IP of name server 2 (opt)" with your "DNS Search
Order"
At the top, make sure "DNS Is Required for Normal Operation" is pushed in.
[Accept]
Now you're back to "Network Configurator" again.
Select "Routing and Gateways"
Push [Set] button
fill that with your Gateway IP and [Enable],
[Accept]
In "Routes to other Networks" press [Quit]
In "Network Configurator" press [Quit]
In "Status of the System" press [Activate the Changes]
Reboot... just kidding. However, that should be it. I've just converted two @Home
winboxes over to linboxes and that's how I got
them to work.
Let me know how it goes or if you can't understand my gibberish.
Seve,
