We are changing over from using 3 modems to a DSL.
I am trying to set up a home network to use one DSL connection.
I followed the tutorial on networking at Mandrake. The author of the
tutorial talks about two network cards in the linux server...the one card
would be "eth0"....what about the other card...I suspect that it is for
the DSL modem to plug into it....but what do I do with this card in the
Linuxconf setup....is it "eth1"?....what info do I put in...the same type
of info that I used for "eth0" but different numbers?
My internal home network will include 2 Win98 machines (my kid...can't
convince them to switch over to Linux" and my dual operating
computerand my Linux router/gateway machine. What information do I need to
put into Win98 networking menu?
IP address - specify an IP address or obtain an IP
Gateway - Do I enter the Gateway address that I put on my Linux
server?...or leave it blank?
Do I disable the DNS or enable and use the DNS numbers that you get from
the DSL provider?
Right now I have the Gateway machine and a Win98 machine hooked up
together and I can "ping" back and forth....but thats as far I have
gotten.
I am going back to Mandrake 7.2 - I loaded up version 8 last night and my
machine bogged down and is much faster with version 7.2 and it has less
automatic setup programs that you can't learn with.
Thank - I shall probably be back with more questions.
Thank you again
Rod
