Sorry about the line-length Ben. I am printing off your
guide right now.=20
I did find a "How to", at this address
http://www.coastnet.com/~pramsey/linux/homenet.html
However, I have not been successful at getting my internal=20
network to work. If I enter the ifconfig command, both eth0 and eth1 =
show up, as well as lo. So I assume that they are
recognized. I follewed the "How to", and I couldn't get the DHCP server =
to work correctly. I did like he said, and when I started the server, I =
got the following message:
SIOCADDRT:File exists
dhcpd server not configure, get eth0 as default interface
Adding local broadcast host route: SIOCADDRT:
File exists [PASSED]
I'm not sure what this means. Any pointers? Do I need to use DHCP? I =
shut DHCP down, and then entered the IP manully in my Win98 box, but it =
didn't get connected.
The lights on the internal NICS didn't turn on. In the meantime, I am =
going to try what Ben wrote.=20
Thanks
