Im running redhat 7. And i've been trying to get internet sharing working. I have a WinME machine that's using sygate to share my connection. It works with other windows computers on my network all they have to do is set the gateway to 111.111.111.111 and the dns to the same and it works. Now with linux Im seting this thing up from bits and pieces of info that I got from these forums. I went: cd / cd /sbin ./linuxconf then I set up the network card and gave it an unused ip and the same subnetmask 255.0.0.0 then I set the gateway to 111.111.111.111 and the dns to "host" and the ip 111.111.111.111 I cannot ping the ip 111.111.111.111 it says "from redhat (111.111.111.115): Destination Host Unreachable" and I, of course, cannot access the internet. any ideas?

try netconfig

sorry im a bit of a noob. What's netconfig? i see its in /usr/sbin/netconfig but it says command not found. Or am I supposed to edit it with something? Thanks for you help so far by the way!

If you type "netconfig" and it reports back as command not found, then it means that /usr/sbin is not in your path!!! Are you sure you logged in as root when you type "netconfig?" Otherwise, type the whole path to execute that command to configure your network card, /usr/sbin/netconfig Lawrence

Thanks lawrence got it now. However I still can't ping 111.111.111.111 or any other computers on my lan like 111.111.111.112 What should I do now?
