2 computer setup with adsl, hub, works fine with both systems running linux
1)gateway computer my rhat 5.2 byers connected to adsl
2) a dual boot w98, linux rhat6.2 corni
when corni booted up into linux, networking fine, good access to
internet etc
===== note, I have _zero_ Windows experience====
Now, my wife needs, wants, whatever windows apps
I had her trying linux on corni and this working out as far as it
goes (using applix word processing)
but she wants some other windows apps....., dont ask.
I got the linux networking going in very short order,
firewall from this list on the main box, etc, all working fine.
Was confident i could do the w98 network config with just messing around
with the gui network stuff, WRONG.
I have tried following prescriptions from a seemingly savvy
book on w98 also, but to no avail.
192.168.2.1 lanside of my main linux box byers
192.168.2.7 ip of the other linux box, uses 192.168.2.1 as gw
I tried using these _same_ numbers for the w98 networking setup
but I cant seem to get any response.
All i can ping sucessfully from corni in w98 is 127.0.0.1.
even pinging 192.168.2.7 fails, as if the ip addr of corni
simply isnt being set.
Would really appreciate help from any w98-linux dual booters out
there. I know, this is a linux list not w98, but i am really at
sea here, and this list is the best source I know.
I need an explicit step by step,since i am obviously
doing something grossly wrong.
Jack
