You probably should have a firewall :-) > masquerading to make it look like requests coming from the Windows box are > actually coming from the Linux box?

It sounds like you just need to set up ip masquerading. http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO/ for debian, I think you just apt-get install ipmasq and hook it into your startup, or put an empty file ppp in /etc/ipmasq/ to make it start when you connect. (from apt-cache show ipmasq) IP Masquerade requires the kernel to be compiled with CONFIG_FIREWALL, CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL, CONFIG_IP_FORWARD, and CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE. If you like, you can read some of the Linux Network Administrators Guide too, which gives you a good grounding in most common networking. http://www.tldp.org/guides.html cheers, Woody > > Dan > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Anthony Wood" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: "dan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2003 10:01 AM > Subject: Re: [SLUG] Dial-in Server > > > > Dan, > > > > If you are trying to browse webpages on the internet which your debian > > box is connected to, then you'll have to set up some sort of networking > > to allow your windows box to do that, either ip masqerading, or > > proxying. > > > > If you just want to send email via your debian box, or view webpages > > on it, and you can't do that, then you have another problem, and we'll > > need more info. > > > > Is your setup like this: (correct it & add IP addresses) > > > > _________ > > / \ > > ( INTERNET ) > > \_________/ > > | > > | > > a.b.c.d > > Debian Box > > modem > > | > > | > > Telephone System > > | > > | > > modem > > Windows Box > > > > cheers, > > Woody > > > > > > > > On Thu, 2003-02-27 at 09:24, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > Hi Dan, > > > > > > AFAIK, you do need to specify your DNS server, whilst this is > > > automatically done under MS Windows. > > > > > > This is done by having the line: > > > > > > nameserver <ip address of DNS server> > > > > > > in your /etc/resolv.conf > > > > > > HTH... > > > > > > Mike > > > --- > > > Michael S.
