Ok, I've had 8 pints since my last post on the subject, so forgive any
typo's or inaccuracies...
(incidentally, we just *won* the pub quiz in The Halt, we totally 0wned)
Right, your windows machine is set up for internet sharing... You need to
know your internal IP address. Go to Control Panels, Network, TCP/IP
properties (for ethernet adaptor, not PPP).
The IP address ought to be set to "Specify...", give it 192.168.0.1 (actual
subnet doesn't matter, we'll mask out a class C subnet), the subnet should
be 255.255.255.0. DNS, Gateways, WINS, none of these matter just now.
Set your Linux box up to be 192.168.0.2-254, the last number is unimportant.
Use "netconf". Netmask needs to be 255.255.255.0, same as windows. Gateway
and DNS need to be set as 192.168.0.1, or whatever IP addy you gave your
windows box.
When you boot your Linux box, login as root and do ifconfig. It should
return eth0 as 192.168.0.x (x being whatever you set, I'm guessing you use
2). Try "ping 192.168.0.1". If that works, you can talk to the windows box.
This is good.
Then try "ping 213.107.18.184". If that works, you can ping outside your
router (in this case, the windows machine. Make sure you're connected to
the internet).
Finally try "ping gordonjcp.dnsalias.net". If this works, DNS works, and
you're good to go.
I'll be watching my log files for you,
Gordonjcp
