| hi guys
i have a w2k server conected to a DSL modem
the server has 2 NICs, ones goes to the DSl modem
2nd one goes to a 5 port hub
the server has ICS enabled
i have 1 w2k professional and 1 w98 computers conected to the hub
and both are able to conect to the internet using the ICS from the w2k server
i have another computer with slackware and corel linux running( that is conected to the hub just like the windows computers
but i havent been able to conect to the internet with either flavor of linux. this computer has a pci NIC that is been recognized by both linux OSs
what am i missing?
thanks guys | |

| Do a route or netstat -r on your Linux box, and look for a default route (0.0.0.0); if should point to the inside interface of your w2k server. | |

| Try out dmafei's suggestion. If that doesn't solve hte problem then also make sure you're on the same subnet and that the DNS entries are correct. | |

| Or tell your Linux box to get a dhcp address..Im not familiar with any of the GUI`s for your distro but curiously (not being familiar with slack) I found
In order to make the system initialize using DHCP during boot type:
cd /etc/rc.d
mv rc.inet1 rc.inet1.OLD
This will move the old network initialization script into rc.inet1.OLD. You now need to create the new rc.inet1 script. Following code is all you need:
#!/bin/sh
#
# rc.inet1 This shell script boots up the base INET system.
HOSTNAME=`cat /etc/HOSTNAME` #This is probably not necessary but I
#will leave it in anyways
# Attach the loopback device.
/sbin/ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
/sbin/route add -net 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 lo
# IF YOU HAVE AN ETHERNET CONNECTION, use these lines below to configure the
# eth0 interface. If you're only using loopback or SLIP, don't include the
# rest of the lines in this file.
/usr/sbin/dhcpcd
Save it and reboot your computer.
When you are finished go the last step.
This assumes you have the dhcpcd client installed.You can grab that at
