hello, well ... i would suggest you go to www.linuxdoc.org and go under the howto's...under ip masquarding and also ip aliasing.... another good document on that site for your purpose would be to look under the MINI-HOWTOS ... there is a very good section called home-network-mini... those are good documents and very easy to follow and understand .... Hope that helps... good luck TiGereYe - Aceept No Substitues - ------Original Message------ From: Scott Allan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: October 2, 2000 12:33:43 PM GMT Subject: [newbie] Advice on a "non-standard" network setup.... Hi, I am having troubles configuring a "non-standard" network install, and would like advice on how to best set this up. Ultimately, I will need three network interfaces installed in my box: 1. d-link pci ehternet adapter - -> Bell HSE ADSL 2. d-link pci ehternet adapter - -> connect to hub to network with windows laptop 3. Raylink PCMCIA adapter for wireless networking -. connect wireless to different Windows laptop I have not been able to get things working automagically from a standard install, but I wasn't really expecting that to work :) I have actaully removed the second ethernet card to simplify my life while trying to get my HSE working, which I have been able to do. Now, I am going to try and get it all working. I would appreciate answers to the following questions, and any general advice: 1. How can I make sure that there are no hardware conflicts? 2. In what order should the hardware be allocated ETH0-ETH2? Can I control this? How? 3. Is there an easy config tool for PCMCIA services and networking? 4. What troubleshooting tools do I have at my disposal to verify whether a device (specifically a network card or PCMCIA card) is responding? 5. In what order should I approach this - what should I install and configure first? My box is a P300A w. 64MB ram, Mandrake 7.1. Thanks for any help - sA Scott Allan ______________________________________________ FREE Personalized Email at Mail.com Sign up at http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup
