I am a new redhat/linux user, so please excuse my ignorance. :)
I'm trying to setup a home LAN with my Win98 box housing the internet connection, and
the Linux
box (RH 6.0) having access to the internet and housing a web and email server. I
realize that the
Linux box would make a better server all around, but until I get more familiar with
the OS, I want
to leave that to my Win98 box.
I'm having problems getting my two boxes to talk to each other. Here is my current
config:
Win98 box:
IP: 192.168.0.1
subnet: 255.255.255.0
Linux box:
IP: 192.168.0.2
subnet: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.0.1
I have also added "192.168.0.1 <boxname>" to the /etc/hosts file. I am unable to ping
either way.
Any ideas on what the problem might be?
Also, what would be the best way to setup internet sharing? I have the original
Win98, so I don't
have built-in internet sharing. Will I need to use a 3rd party software package or
something?
Whatever the method, I will need to be able to forward incoming data to my linux box
based on
ports.
Any help would be appreciated.
Jason
