-- Hi, I just installed Debian Potato and now I want to set up an network with an W2K-machine.
My network cards are setup like this: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:5A:AF:40:C8 inet addr:24.132.7.112 Bcast:24.132.7.255 Mask:255.255.254.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:10561 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:22 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:1 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:9 Base address:0xd000 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:4F:4E:03:11:D5 inet addr:192.168.0.1 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:160 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:57 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:5 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3924 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 I am able to ping from the W2K-machine to the Debian-machine and vice-versa. After this I did apt-get install ipmasq, what seems to go right. The configuratio of the W2K-machine is the same as I had before when I was running Mandrake, static ip 192.168.0.253, gateway 192.168.0.1 and the DNS-servers from my ISP. The thing is now that it will not work, on the windows-machine I cant't get a connection to the internet. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? One strange thing that I see is this, when booting Debian it says: Initializing IP-masquerading... Ip-Masquerade has not been enabled in the kernel done Loading IP-masquerade kernel modules... done For so far as I can see I have an 2.2.19pre17 kernel, so what I have understand till now is that IP-masquerading should be in this kernel? Thanks, Hans --
