O(V)eGA_l2el) Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 I have my main system running WindowsXP Pro (using a dial-up modem for internet access) and my secondary system dual-booting WinXP Pro and Redhat 9 (10/100mbps NIC) I want my main system to share its internet connection with Rehat 9, but how?

LobbDogg Posted October 20, 2003 Posted October 20, 2003 You need to turn on Internet connection sharing on your XP box, its under network options, and the icon that you use to dialup. This then turns your XP box into like a router, and should feed your other machine with an IP, and I believe that you should just set RedHat to automatically grab the IP, Gateway, and Subnet Mask.

d3bruts1d Posted October 20, 2003 Posted October 20, 2003 Set up XP with ICS, then set the DNS/Gateway of the RedHat box to that of the IP of the XP system.... don't forget to set the IP and subnet also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
O(V)eGA_l2el) Posted October 20, 2003 Posted October 20, 2003 (edited) Ok, I understand, setting up my main system as a router and giving my Redhat box the same IP/subnet/DNS/Gatway as my main system...but wouldnt conflicts arise b/t the two or that doesnt matter because my main system is also acting as a router?

d3bruts1d Posted October 20, 2003 Posted October 20, 2003 You don't set the redhat box up with the same IP as the XP box. Your DNS and Gateway will be the same IP as what your XP system is using. The subnet will be the same as the subnet used on the XP system (you are on the same subnet after all)... then the IP for the redhat box will be something different.

d3bruts1d Posted October 20, 2003 Posted October 20, 2003 (edited) What type of NIC is in your Linux box? Also, what does ifconfig return? Edited October 20, 2003 by d3bruts1d Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
