I have a fully functional andLinux which can access the internet, and I
will describe my configuration in the hope it is useful. The andLinux
system is hosted by a win2000 machine.
Foreword. I have an adsl router which uses DHCP, but I didn't want to
use it because I wanted fixed addresses in my local network. Moreover my
win2000 machine, when directly connected to the internet, behaves very
badly (viruses this m$ crap can find I don't know where). So, I use
another machine, my server (a true linux machine), as a firewall. Its
only true interface, eth0, is configured with DHCP from the router, and
gets addresses like 28.226.xxx.xxx. Another virtual interface "eth0:0"
is set-up with the fixed local network address 192.168.223.3. The final
result is that, apart from my server, no other machines are connected
directly to the internet; all of them have an address of the kind
192.168.223.xxx, and use the server as a gateway. This fact should not
be important to you, anyway. What it counts, is that my gateway to the
internet is a router which has address 192.168.223.3.
The host machine has windows 2000 - it is somehow different from xp or
seven. Anyway, it has a single ethernet interface, with fixed ip =
192.168.223.15 and the gateway is of course 192.168.223.3 (the server).
Then there is another virtual interface, called TAP-Colinux, which I
installed using the "TAP-Win32 Adapter V8" from the andLinux package.
This interface has address 192.168.23.16; no other parameters are needed.
Finally, coLinux is started using these settings (from "settings.txt"):
...
eth0=tuntap
eth1=slirp
...
Inside the andLinux system, network interfaces are setup like this:
iface eth1 inet static
address 10.0.2.15
gateway 10.0.2.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.23.18
netmask 255.255.255.0
The interface 10.0.2.2, I suppose, is the internal one simulated by
coLinux; I am not sure because I can't remember the many tries I did.
Given that setup, the command "route -n" gives:
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref
Use Iface
192.168.23.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0
0 0 eth0
10.0.2.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0
0 0 eth1
0.0.0.0 10.0.2.2 0.0.0.0 UG 100
0 0 eth1
All that said, I can from inside andLinux go everywhere: in my local
network or the internet.
If I "ssh" into the server, the server sees the connection as if it was
made from the win2000 machine (and it is true!)
If I open a connection to the internet, the remote machine will see the
connection as if it was made from my router, using its public external
address. This is normal too.
The only limit with my setup is that I can not open a connection from
outside andLinux to "inside" andLinux. I mean, from windows I can not
telnet or ssh into andLinux, nor I can from the server. This is quite
normal, because every machine acts as a firewall. I am also sure that,
if I really wanted it, I could have done it. There are different ways to
implement interfaces in andLinux; I chose the simplest one (or the first
one which worked?). One of those ways creates a virtual "real" interface
(sorry for the funny words), but the documentation says it is slow.
I suppose that, if you only want to connect to a remote database, this
setup is enough.
Regards,
Doriano
