Johnny2003 0 Posted January 11, 2004 Hello all, I am new but willing to learn. I am trying to get my two laptops to network thru my Host computer. I have tried many things but haven't had any luck. I am very new to Linux. Here is my setup and network readings: My host computer is dual-boot with WinXP pro on one hard drive and Mandrake 9.1 on another hard drive. I have two laptops, both with WinXP pro installed on them that I can network thru the host when booted into WinXP. When I have my Linux running I can not get on the internet from the laptops although my Linux system gets online with no problem. I have Samba installed but I'm not sure what to do with it. I also use firestarter as a firewall but even with it not running (I have it set as not running when closed down) I can not get online from the laptops. Here are the settings I believe one would need to see to help me: resolv.conf search launchmodem.com nameserver 192.168.1.254 nameserver 192.168.1.254 ifcfg-eth0 DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp IPADDR=192.168.1.96 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=192.168.1.0 BROADCAST=192.168.1.255 ONBOOT=yes MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=yes NEEDHOSTNAME=no ifcfg-eth1 DEVICE=eth1 BOOTPROTO=dhcp IPADDR=192.168.1.0 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=192.168.1.0 BROADCAST=192.168.1.255 ONBOOT=yes MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=yes NEEDHOSTNAME=yes ifcfg-lo DEVICE=lo IPADDR=127.0.0.1 NETMASK=255.0.0.0 NETWORK=127.0.0.0 # If you're having problems with gated making 127.0.0.0/8 a martian, # you can change this to something else (255.255.255.255, for example) BROADCAST=127.255.255.255 ONBOOT=yes NAME=loopback ifconfig [root@bellsouth network-scripts]# ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:07:95:01:FD:52 inet addr:192.168.1.96 Bcast:255.255.255.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1736 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2066 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:1080134 (1.0 Mb) TX bytes:282402 (275.7 Kb) Interrupt:11 Base address:0xd000 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:20:78:10:0C:1F UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1073 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:398 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:115929 (113.2 Kb) TX bytes:69722 (68.0 Kb) Interrupt:5 Base address:0xcc00 eth1:9 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:20:78:10:0C:1F inet addr:169.254.9.108 Bcast:169.254.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Interrupt:5 Base address:0xcc00 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:476 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:476 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:42759 (41.7 Kb) TX bytes:42759 (41.7 Kb) WinXP settings: Host Computer: 1394 Connection Network Bridge Enabled, Bridged 1394 Net Adaptor Local Area Connection Obtains IP and DNS automatically Details: SiS 900 IP address 192.168.1.97 Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 assigned by DHCP Local Area Connection 2 Network Bridge Enabled, Bridged Details: Linksys Network Bridge (Network Bridge) IP address 192.168.0.1 Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 Use following DNS, nothing listed Network Bridge Enabled MAC Bridge Miniport IP address 192.168.0.1 Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 Manually configured Laptop settings: Internet Gateway: Enabled Local Area connection on Host computer LAN or High-Speed Internet Obtain an IP and DNS automatically Enabled IP address 192.168.0.175 Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 DHCP I have DSL. I hope someone can help me out. I tried even just plugging numbers into my ifcfg files, but to no avail. I'm not sure what settings in WinXP need to be placed where in Linux. Does My bridge reading go into eth0 etc... I appreciate any and all help. Thanks again. Share this post Link to post

Type 192.169.1.254 into the box marked "gateway", then click OK and then OK in the window of the Control Center. You should be able to go online by then setting your browser to this address http://192.168.1.254 and pressing "enter" on your keyboard. Share this post Link to post
