I am setting up Linux to function as router / gateway between two LAN WS1 WS2 WS3 WS4 WS5 |____|____|____|____| | LINUX WIN-2000 Server |_____________________| | WIN NT | ___________________ | | | | | WS6 WS7 WS8 WS9 WSA WS1,WS2,...,WS9,WSA are workstation running WIN98. I would like to configure this two LAN so that WS1 would be able to access share resource from WS6 and vice versa. WS6,...,WS9,WSA must also be able to access email server install on linux WS1,WS2,...,WS9,WSA must be able to access resouce and WEB server on WIN 2000 How to configure Linux for two network card? How to setup DNS so that all station will recognize other station names? Thank you.

Try www.linuxdoc.org See howtos I believe that there is a "router" one

Under Slackware: /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 configures your network cards./etc/rc.d/rc.modules loads the drivers for said cards. The only difference is when you load the drivers you need to specify BOTH I/O ports: /sbin/modprobe ne io=0x2a0,0x2c0 Same line, 2 cards. That took me a week to figure out 8) Sigh. Simplicity is never easy. in rc.inet1, just copy the block of script that configures card 1. Just make sure to change your ip address and such. Your gateway is ALWAYS an external computer, not the current computer or you won't get out. Once you can talk to the Win2K machine, the easy part is over. Now you need to configure samba to talk between the two. I am assuming that you have 2 net cards in the linux computer, not a net card and an ISDN or modem. The concept is basically the same, but I'm not sure how linux will react to logging into RAS with pppd. That and I've never actually configured RAS so I don't know how any computer would log into it 8P
