Can linux share a dial-up internet connection with win98 over a ethernet LAN?

Post by Wilson Li » Sun, 25 Jul 1999 04:00:00



I have two machines each running Win98 and RH 6.0 dual boot.  On one of
the machine I have a SupraSonic II modem that I can connect to my ISP at
over 100Kbps under Win98.  Can my Linux box on the other machine share
this connection over LAN?  If so, how can I do that?  I would appriciate

setup under Linux yet, but I will do so soon.  I have Linksys's Fast
Ethernet in a box kit.  Please let me know if any other info needed.)
Thanks!

ps. I am not new to Linux, but knows very little about networking.

You will have to install a proxy prog on the Winbox, Sysgate, Wingate
etc.  Then your linuxbox can access that modem.

May I suggest that you switch it round and have your Linux box handle
the modem and let your Win98 box hang of it over the network either
using Squid (proxy) or IPCHAINS / IPFWADM (IP Masquerading).

  Just install one of the win proxies, such as Sygate or some such
then he can access with no probs.
