Configuration is Internet <==> [Modem--Box1--NIC] <==> HUB <==>
[NIC--Box2]>
Box2 also has a modem. Box2 can access the internet but networking is not
setup. If I do setup Networking thru Drakconf , the same situation will
occur. Under "Basic Host Information-- adaptor 1" I use manual instead of
Dchp. Is that allright? I tried to install the rpm's for Dchp but "eth0"
fails during boot when I enable Dchp. Do I need Dchp?
I changed the "static gateway" as you suggested to 192.168.100.1------I got
the same Message "peer is not authorized to use remote address
192.168.100.1"
Here is /etc/reslove.conf below
nameserver 192.168.100.1
nameserver 208.223.196.128
Whenever I use the "default" gateway instead of a"static" gaetway ,I get
the same message except the DNS number is 208.223.199.240-----I have never
intered this number, my ISP doesn't know (or admit) where it comes from. My
ISP assigns me a differnet DNS number everytime I logon. My ISP is of very
little help with Linux.
Greg , what I'm wanting to do is be able to share files (and printer) and
also to be able to access internet from either computer. I"m not wanting my
LAN to be accessed through the internet. Do I have to use a Firewall anyway?
Sorry for my ignorance, the help is much appreciated!!
Thanks
Bob
