Simple Internet sharing with Knoppix, settings, wizard, GUI?

[stukennedyuk]

Nope, still stuck.

I'm using Arno's IPtables-firewall script.

Internet-----|server knoppix|-------Intranet-------|client knoppix|
eth0 - DHCP eth1 - 192.168.0.1 eth0 - 192.168.0.2

Server can ping internet and client box (ping 192.169.0.2) client box can ping server box (ping 192.168.0.1) but not internet or the IP of the server allocated by DHCP on eth0 (the internet connection).

Making changes with 'netcardconfig' to the client box results in:-

SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable

Settings all look okay, think I've tried every variation.....

Nearly there. Having both server and client running Knoppix was too many unknowns so I reboot the server intoWindow$ 98SE with ICS running.

Using 'netcardconfig' and choosing DHCP had it working, so I used 'ifconfig eth0' to check what settings DHCP has allocated. It only shows IP, Bcast and Mask, so I entered these using 'netcardconfig' having chosen manual config. It didn't work! The only additional 'missing' values required for manual setup in 'netcardconfig' are Default gateway and DNS, so I experimented until I found the working values. (the ones that were there all the time staring me in the face.....)

I rebooted the server into Knoppix and tried DCHP on the client and it failed, however the manual setup values that worked for W98SE ICS DO work with Knoppix.

Don't know why DHCP doesn't work on Knoppix, do you?

All good practice to get my brain working again..... now for the next challenge, importing outlook express 6 into Kmail (then using firewire for video editing..... then burning CDRs.....then?)

Thanks for all the help! Stu.....

You do not have a DHCP server running on the Knoppix server so there is no way for the client to get an address from DHCP in win98 ICS has a builtin server so the Knoppix client could get the settings it needed. Good to hear you got it going BTW. Burning CD should be pretty simple it should already be setup for it on the machine that has the burner try cdrecord --scanbus it should return something similar to this:

Here cdrecord tells me that I have a burner on the device 0,0,0 if your output is similar then you can burn right away if not it is just a matter of adjusting some settings. I have no firewire devices but I'm sure someone here can help you with that I believe you have to have the module ehci1394 loaded for access but I'm not quite sure about that you may want to do some searching on the site.
