I have a home network with 4 Win98 desktops and a linux RH6.2 box networked
through a Linksys 10/100 switch using Samba (I forget which version but it's
recent). Two NICs on the linux box, eth1 for the inside network and eth0 for
the outside. An Xpeed DSL bridge is plugged into eth0. The DSL connection
works fine on the linux box, I can browse the Internet with no trouble. It's
the other machines I'm having trouble with.
I think, emphasize think, that lmhosts, hosts, and smb.conf are configured
correctly after pouring over the home networking mini-how-to and several
books, including the Samba Black Book. Since I am not using DHCP, however, I
have found it difficult to determine how to configure Win98 TCP/IP to allow
them to browse through the linux box and maybe my linux settings aren't
right either.
Wins resolution and the Gateway is set to the IP of the linux eth1. DNS
configuration I've tried variously as the IP of the linux eth1, eth0, and
the netbios name of the the linux host with the domain name of the DSL ISP's
DNS with the two nameservers. In smb.conf, the linux bos is preferred
master, dns proxy is set to yes, name resolve order is lmhosts hosts wins
bcast. resolv.conf has the domain name of the DSL ISP's DNS with the two
nameservers.
The reason I'm not using DHCP is that I started by assigning IP addresses
and I would just as soon see it through rather than give up.
Any help would be appreciated.
