Hello having a spot of bother.... I have just built a new box as follows Mandrake 7.1 Cyrix M2 333MHz (I know - cyrix - but it only cost me £20 so I wasn't gonna say no) 128 Ram ppp0 = External Dynamode modem eth0 = Via-rhine
this is on 10.10.10.200 netmask 255.255.255.0
this machine connects to the net fine (tada! here I am)
I also have (don't hit me please) a Win2K workstation (10.10.10.100), both are on 10Mbs LAN and ftp, http and SMB is fine between the two.
Win2K machine is looking to 10.10.10.200 for web pages (for example) but is not getting any further i.e. getting no imformation from 10.10.10.200's ppp0 connection. ppp0 was set up in linuxconf rather than kppp and connects fine at boot and the "set default route" option is checked. I have no default route set as Linuxconf help suggested not to for ppp connections as they sort it themselves
What haven't I done?? or what have I done wrong?? which processes should I look for to be running that probably aren't??
any help and sympathy appreciated
Dave
