Hi,
Im running Linux Mandrake 8.1 with a wired connection to an Apple Airport
doing internet sharing (NAT + DHCP). My network card is installed fine. But
I cant access internet, the airport is acting as basically a router/gateway
at 10.0.1.1. Any ideas on how to set this up?

Thanks

Do you have a dhcp-client running on your linux box? If so, does it get an
IP from your airport?

Or is this your problem? There are several dhcp-clients in the mandrake
package and you can just search for dhcp to find and install one.

i also think Mandrake gives you a pretty script to configure things through
a gui.

If this isn't the problem, does the airport provide just an IP or do you
also get auto-assigned dns numbers? If not, you probably just don't have
your dns pointers configured properly.

Tell us more about what is and what is not working...
