Greetings all, Here's the scenario....
five machines, 1 - dedicated debian box 2 - dual boot (one laptop w/debian&win95, 1 box w/debian&win98) 1 - win nt 4 workstation box 1 - win 98 box this is the desired mode of operation: i would like to setup an intranet of sorts. I've gone through most of the networking mini-HOWTOs...ip-masq, intranet, etc. but i'm a bit confused. i would like to connect all of the machines together (already done) with samba but i would also like to setup an internet connection via a modem on a debian box with ip masq but the ip that this box obtains is dynamic from my dialup. This is where my confusion arises....how do i need to setup the other non-deb boxes so that they may surf the net also? DHCP? On the other hand , when off-line hand i would also like to be able to let users on the non-deb boxes to telnet to the deb boxes when off-line. (Can you tell i'm new to this networking thingy? ;)) Is this possible? if so just point me in the right direction!!! Regards, jd?
