I'm having a little trouble and I've spent the last 3 1/2 hours searching and trying different things. Basically here's the deal...
I just got DSL up and running today. I confirmed that it works by running it straight to my Win98 box. I've installed a new NIC in my Redhat 7.0 box but for the life of me I can't seem to figure out how to one, get the RH Box to *see* the internet, and two, get it properly networked to my Win98 box.
I want to use the RH box as my server and firewall and then network 4 other WinXX machines to it and let all of them have internet access via the DSL connection on the RH box.
Can someone point me to an EASY to understand site that explains step-by-step how to set this type of network up?
So far I think I've got it figured out that I need to set either eth0 or eth1 (probably eth0) to connect to my DSL modem. My ISP uses a dynamic IP so I *think* I need to use DHCP on eth0 as I cannot set up a static IP with a submask(?) of 255.255.255.0. Am I on the right track here?
Also, I'm fairly certain I should be setting up my other NIC (eth1) as a static IP of 192.168.0.1. Does this sound right?
I've been running SEQ via dial-up for quite sometime but now I need to learn how to set it up for DSL. My biggest problem seems to be figuring out how to set up the NIC's. Things like the what the proper commands are, how do I use the RH Network Configurator to set these things up, and so on.
I sure appreciate ANY help you can offer and any links you might have to show this idiot, how to make this work.
Thanks!
