Hi folks,
I'm a Linux novice (an above-average Unix user, without a lot of admin
experience), so please bear with me. I've configured TrinuxHD to work on
an existing Win98 partition, and running it seems to work beautifully.
I'm quite impressed with the exceptionally simple setup.
However, I've run into a bit of a problem. There's not a lot of details
on how to run Trinux with dual NICs, to make use of ipchains'
masquerading
functions by masq'ing for a couple of local PCs. The existing config is
pretty simple: the gateway box currently runs Win98, with the cable
modem
connecting to an ISA Etherlink III NIC, configured via DHCP. A second
NIC
(a Netgear PCI) is configured statically with 192.168.0.1 /24, and hubs
with another PC as part of the same private network.
My issue is that during boot, both NICs get recognized, but a) the
Netgear NIC gets set up as eth0, and as it's not connected to the cable
modem, DHCP fails on it, and b) eth1 never gets configured at all. The
second problem is just me not being sure how to set up the eth1 int.
under netconfig. Even still though, I'd need to have Trinux recognize
the Elink III as eth0, and the Netgear as eth1 for this to work. Any
suggestions on how to force the issue? Ideally, I'll move Trinux over
to a box with either a small HD or just run diskless, and allow it to
masq for both existing PCs, so I need to figure this part out before I
make the move. Please let me know. Btw, is there an archive of the list?
Thanks.
