Is it possible to share an internet connection that is being dialed up on my win 2000 sys with a red hat 7.0 system. Each sys has a network card and they are connected by a 10 mb netgear hub. I know with the windows systems you can use the ms internet sharing but I haven't found anything about sharing between a linux machine and windows machine. Thanks. Bryan

I have never done it, but do you have Samba SWAT running at all? As far as I know, you can setup ICS on your 2000 machine and get the network info (ip addresses, subnet), using SWAT setup your LINUX client with an IP scheme and use the win2000 machine as the default gateway.... Like I said, I've never done this before...maybe someone out there has...

ICS isnt a good idea coz it doesnt work for static ip network. you might want to use proxy server. i use analogx and it is easy and works great.

I at one point had a machine running redhat 7.0 sharing a dial-up with another machine running WinME. Both machines had Diamond Homefree PNA network cards, and I believe all I had to do was tell the linux box the ip of the WinME box. At any rate it worked, and it wasn't very hard to do.

Thanks for all the help guys... I now have a very happy linux box sitting next to my grouchy win2k puter. Learning lots from the elite computer users. Thanks so very much. Bryan
