That is the problem I was having, and this is what ended up working for me since I had the same type of cable co. eyes watching me... Server configuration: NIC 1 = WAN = Server assigned and setup this NIC to share (ICS and this also uses NAT so your LAN workstations will communicate) When checking ipconfig you will see the IP assigned by your cable company and a class C subnet of 255.255.255.0
NIC 2 = LAN = 192.168.1.1 and subnet of 255.255.0.0 no sharing, as it is the one used to share the internet From NIC 1, and communicate with the LAN. Workstation (each IP on the LAN goes in sequential order): NIC = 192.168.1.2 Subnet 255.255.0.0 with the Gateway and DNS of 192.168.1.1 That was it... Putting them on a seperate subnet is what fixed it for me... (This was using my win 2K as the server) HTH Seraph > I,d rather have it the otherway round but AT&T want support it at all I > tryed the other night for the longest time I,m so nw to linux couldn,t get > it working even no help local just what I,ve got here ,then a couple of guys > suggested I try it the other way rould thats the way they had there,s I > tryed that with the same luck.I,ve never shared connection before but can > sign either card to my cable modem and they work fine but there,s something > I,m missing in the mandrake config shows up but want connect either way. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "daRcmaTTeR" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Thursday, May 30, 2002 4:58 AM > Subject: Re: [newbie] trying to connect > > > > On Wed, 29 May 2002, s wrote: > > > > > On Thursday 30 May 2002 07:32 am, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > > I tryed to connect direct to my cable modem with no luck then everone > is > > > > suggesting just connect to the windows 2000 system(which I have in the > same > > > > room) O.K with that I tryed but with about the same luck but I didn,t > > > > install samba I need to go back and install it for that to work > wouldn,t > > > > I???? > > > > > > No, you won't need samba just for internet access.
