Ok, 1. First of all you must configure your ethernet cards like:
ifconfig eth0 x.x.x.x netmask 255.255.255.0 up ifconfig eth1 y.y.y.y nemask 255.255.255.0 up you must change x's and y's for your ip addresses then you can ping to your network and to your dsl you also must configure a default gateway in this case may be the address of your dsl connetion. 2. Yeah you can. 4. had you tried? XFree86 -configure, it would return a XF86Config sample config file. In any case you can visit www.tldp.org and consult IP-Masquerade-HOWTO (For firewalling) PPP-HOWTO NET-HOWTO XWindow-User-HOWTO Regards ;) On Mon, 6 Sep 2004 22:31:58 -0500, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" wrote: Hello All I am a beginner in Linux using Debian. I have installed Debian in my old computer i386 machine (Configuration given below) I would like to know if there is a way I can have this macine to identlify the network and the ip address. I have DSL Internet connection - I have a DSL Modem and a 4 port Linksys Router. I have 2 computer connecting to this Router - One running Windows XP and the other Debian. I have these following questions 1. How to have it identify the Network connection? 2. Can I have it work as a firewall and a router - the DSL Modem connecting directly to the server.? 3. How to set the Time and Date? 4 I have a mouse which connects to the USB Port - but its also not being identified by the X Window. What commands I need to execute? Need some help.
