guys, i am using mandrake 8.1 as login server and for internet sharing. i enabled internet-sharing thru mandrake control center and was able to do so. but when i restarted my mandrake linux box, the internet-sharing was disabled. i had to redo internet-sharing with mandrake control center and it worked again. upon restarting, it again worked. then i saw a message regarding firewall settings, so i had to setup firewall again with control center.
then my real problem came. upon restarting, the internet-sharing worked with the windows 98 clients but they couldn't login, couldn't ping my linux box. i did a traceroute to the internet and the first hop (mandrake box) gave me "Request timeout" but the succeeding hops registered fine. i really really need any help because the domain i had to setup should be up very very soon. if it wouldn't work, my boss is inclined on using windows nt as our server. i wouldn't really want to go back to windows. kindly help. any help will do. i would also appreciate if you could email me personally at [EMAIL PROTECTED] please. -junn- __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
