191125 2003-11-12 05:52:00 lol...maybe - I went into drakconnect and setup my LAN card (eth0) to 192.168.1.2, the routers default IP, then i setup the internet connection as an ADSL connection using the DHCP protocol, and set the IP to 192.168.1.2, and the gateway to 192.168.1.2. This done, i went into "expert" mode and entered my login and password under configure internet access, and told it to connect through ethernet card eth0, the went into expert options for eth0 and set the protocol from static to dhcp. Then i clicked on connect, and hey presto - it said "connected", but just as soon, it disconnected. Any suggestions? [linux] mb0o53 (4863)
191126 2003-11-12 06:04:00 Your PC's IP should NOT be the same as the router, try 192.168.1.1 instead! Chilling_Silently (228)
191127 2003-11-12 06:08:00 USB modem not LAN/ethernet. Or am I missing something here ?:| very similar to software modems.

191128 2003-11-12 06:08:00 by PC you mean LAN card? i have tried again a couple of times, and now it stays connected :) [linux] mb0o53 (4863)
191129 2003-11-12 06:17:00 Lets clear this up...

You don't need to install any drivers for the router.

If you are connecting through ethernet.

I think.........

191130 2003-11-12 06:19:00 yep - i havnt installed any drivers for it - just said that i will connect through dhcp. [linux] mb0o53 (4863)
191131 2003-11-12 06:49:00 hmm...whenver i try to visit a webpage on the linux box it times out..and even though i have setup the other computers on my network to connect throught the linux box, no gateway to the internet appears on any of them [linux] mb0o53 (4863)
191132 2003-11-12 07:00:00 This is where things get interesting.

Can you ping 210.48.100.45? That's pressf1.co.nz

Here's my setup:
my router is 192.168.0.1
My PC is running Slack 9.1 and is 192.168.0.2 on eth0
My PC's eth1 is 192.168.1.1

I've got a .sh file I run to setup the network and bring up the relevant interfaces.

What's your current setup (For all your LAN) and what are you hoping to achieve? Do you want your current PC do route internet to the others?

191133 2003-11-12 07:12:00 no..i couldn't ping press f1 :S - my setup is as follows"

router = 192.168.0.1.2
Linux PC = 192.168.1.208 on eth0
and i dont have an eth1
PC2 = 192.168.0.2
PC3 = 192.168.0.4

this setup seems pretty screwed to me, this is what i would have liked:

router = 192.168.0.1
Linux PC = 192.168.0.3
PC2 = 192.168.0.2
PC3 = 192.168.0.4

I'm hoping for the main to comps (PC2 and PC3) to access the internet through Linux PC, Linx PC will be running firewall, squid etc. and all internet traffic will go through it.
