Hello to all:

First, I'd like to thank those who responded to my previous posts. My
Linux box is now back up and running fine and on the net.

Now, my last problem (I think) is to get my Win 95 PC routing back through
my linux box onto the net.

My setup:

- Win 95 PC with Ethernet card

- Linux box with Ethernet card and external ISDN terminal adapter on com
port

- Minihub between Win 95 and linux PCs.

I am running Caldera Openlinux 1.1 with the default kernel of 2.0.29.

I am now able to also telnet from my Win 95 PC into my Linux box, but
cannot get out to the rest of the net. My Linux box, as mentioned above,
is doing just fine on the net.

What HOWTO and/or FAQ do I need to read, or configuration change should I
make on my Linuxbox to permit my 95 PC to route through it onto the
Internet?

Thanks much in advance.

Are you running routed? Do you have a default router defined on the W95
box?

Good Luck

Check out the ip masquerading mini-howto.

Read Net2 howto for sure.

You also need to enable IP packet forwarding in the kernel (disabled
by default, so you may need to recompile). It is said that gated is
much better than routed (my experience was also that gated works
with a PPP link better). To actually allow your Win 95 to connect
to the Net (guess you mean the whole Internet), you'll have to ask
your ISP to add a route to your Win 95 PC's IP address, if you do
not already have a subnet. If a backward route is not added, your
PC will not be able to talk to anybody. (One get around is to use
your Linux as a proxy and mail gateway, so you can at least
exchange E-mail, browse the Web, do FTP/Gopher, read news, etc.;
to be able to read news, you'll have to run a local news server, too.)

Hope this helps.

This isn't strictly necessary. Linux is capable of IP mas-
querading, which means it disguises packets from/to the masquer-
aded network (or single machine) as packets from/to itself. This
way, you can have whole networks use a single official IP number.
It would probably still be prudent to check with your ISP WRT the
legalities, as multiple people may be effectively using the same
account.
