Total newb so please assume I know nothing before you reply...
I have my linux box setup as my gateway/firewall. I have cable modem going into eth0 and eth1 out to a hub which continues on to my windows boxes. Setup internal IPs etc and everything is online and working.
I'm trying to find out what I need to do so that I can run an ftp server on my win box and do dcc sends via irc etc etc.
Running slackware 8.1 and win2k on the win boxes. Any help would be great. Thanks.
You want an FTP server on the Windows box? Why not the Linux box? I don't know how you would go about setting up FTP on Windows, and this probably isn't the place to ask. :)

maybe al he wants is the linux box as the server/gateway/firewall and wants to know how he can get the ftp traffic from and to the winbox?! All he would have to do for the winbox is get any out of the box ftp server package and find a fixed ip address.As to the firewall and gateway on the linux box... I am happy to just get one machine through my madr 9.0...:(
install and configure IPtables.
Try to GIPTABLES.COM.
Set the rules to forward FTP traffic to the ip of the winbox

Set up an FTP server on a Windows box? No problem....you've come to the right guy. This is a three step process
1) load IIS
2) go to the MMC in IIS and point and click a lot under FTP
3) Start fighting viruses now, and continue until you die.
:D

well thanks for all the positive help *cough*sarcasm*cough*
but i got it all working with iptables and a little help from some friends on irc.
i want to run the ftp from my windows box because i have 160 gigs available here and only 30 on the linux box.
still trying to get dcc sends/chats working in mirc...perhaps i'll search the forum?

Ok, seriously then. FTP on a Win2k box.
1)load internet information server.
2) Do not pass go, do not collect $200, immediately after it is finished loading go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and slap every single security patch on there that you possibly can.
3)reboot and go back to step 2 until there is nothing left to apply.
4)start -> programs -> administrative tools -> IIS -> MMC I think that's correct, but it's a little after 5:00 am right now, and I haven't had my first cup of coffee yet, and I definately don't have a win2k box in the house to look at. Incedentally, MMC stands for microsoft management console, and it's where you'll do everything in IIS.
5) You should see two 'panes' (Windows' attempt at humor, har har) The one on the left should have a globe, and below it it should say (among other things) default web site and default ftp site. If you see that, you are in the right place.
6)Right click on default ftp site and go to site properties.....it's all pretty self explanatory at this point. You, of course, also have the 'help' button at the top of the pane. It's actually pretty useful and should hold your hand through it.
7) If you get stuck, ask a specific question and I'll try to answer. There are just too many steps to type out here.
8) Start fighting viruses, and continue until you die.
:D

still trying to get dcc sends/chats working in mirc Find out which ports are used for incomming traffic and have iptables forward those ports to your windows box.
