OK, FINALLY!!!!! Something we tried *actually* did something positive!
I was beginning to worry there!
For now, unless you're going to be setting up httpd to server something
immediately, you can go into DrakConf (if it actually installed on your
machine--I had to install mine manually) and shut off httpd in system
services. Until you actually have the ability to set it up, there's no need
to sit around waiting for it to start.
For pmfirewall... just so that everything is set correctly in its scripts,
re-run the install script giving it ppp0 as the external interface, DHCP,
autodetect the IP, and shut off any services you probably will not use
(most, if not all the defaults are fine here).
Then tell it eth0 is the internal interface, that it *will* be masquerading,
and to detect that IP range.
When it all finished, bring upthe modem, get connected, and run
/usr/local/pmfirewall/./pmfirewall restart
to check that it's been confgured correctly. You should see the correct IPs
for bothe networks.
On the windows box... all you need to do in the Network applet in control
panel, is edit the settings in network > protocols > TCP/IP [ethernet
adapter]. You want to add your internal IP for that machine. a subnet mask
that matches the one used on the NIC for the firewall (hopefully
255.255.255.0-'cause that would correct) and enter the default gateway as
the IP of the internal interface of the firewall. For the the DNS entries,
add the two DNS IP address found in /etc/resolve.conf on the firewall (or
two DNS servers you know will exist on the internet), close everything,
possibly restart as you're working in windows, and give it a try.
We should be good from here....
Then it's on to samba. (Oh god!) :-)
