Gateway,dns porbs....

[pelle]

Hey !

Its like this I have a windows machine with winroute to share internet with my other computers. Its easy and so. just fill in a gateway and dns and its done.

It works nice on my other windows-computer.
On my other comp, the linuxbox, well I not sure were to fill in the gateway and dns from the winroute-computer so that the internet works.(The linuxbox is a client)

Also do I have to change something in netscape ?
Can someone please help me with this ??

Thanks

You didn't mention what distro you are using so it's kinda hard to tell you which config tools to use and most distros have different ones. That would make it easier for you via config tools.

Edit your /etc/resolv.conf as this

domain yourispdomainname
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx # isp dns 1
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx # isp dns 2

Next you have to add your windows machine gateway address to eth0. Problem is, I can't remember the commandline syntax to add the gateway. ifup eth0 gw xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ??? That is incorrect, but either search around in the Networking forum (where this topic actually should have been posted) or wait for someone else to reply.

You probably don't have the make package installed. Been asked quite a few times here and searching the main forums will find you the answer.

is it this command :
route add default gw xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx eth0

is it this command :
route add default gw xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx eth0
Yes, where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP of your Win box.
You might also have to do:
route add -net xxx.xxx.xxx.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0
where xxx.xxx.xxx.0 is the address of the network both machines are on
