What was the second NIC for?

 

As far as the modem - you should simply be able to use a network cable instead of the USB, which, btw, would be faster too (except that your ISP probably isn't going to give you internet at 100MB/s ;) )

Its going to be a router, so 1 network cable comes from the modem, and the second goes out to the switch...

Mandrake 10.1, first ive ever used....

Ok, ive gotten most of it sorted out i think. I upgraded to mandriva 2006, and installed a second NIC. And im up thru the connection sharing. Whats next ? :)

The typing delay only happens in the MCC. The windows will also freeze for no reason.

Thanx, ill try this when i get home. and let u know if it works

lol. i have no idea how to do that. Im still a noob. i need stepbystep :) thnx

hey, im using mandrake 10.1, and im setting up to be a router. Im using the wizards in MCC to set this up. However anytime i click and type in an empty field, the system locks up. same way with the package installer, if it says additional packages needed, it freezes. Anyone know of any remedies? Oh, and last night it said that Urmpi was locked? but it installed today. Thnx

is there any drivers that anyone knows of to get this to work? it shows up as an unknown device on the hardware list but im not sure howto make it work. im a noob to linux. Thanx

the USB modem comes up as unknown device. how can i change that?

[ian@europa ~]$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
1

Reported a 0 :P

Hardware: Pentium 3 500mhz

378mb ram

1 nic

mandrake 10.1

Ya, for internet connections. the cable modem has a usb and an ethernet out so ill pry use the usb.

The way i want it to be is

Desktop (winxp home)

modem->mandrake comp->switch<

Laptop (winxp pro)

lol the accelerator just distorts pics and such. ur choice though m8.

There may be a way to get peoplepc to work with linux. Although im a noobie to linux, i know in windows, once you know the phone number that the modem dials, u can set that up in a normal dialup window instead of peoplepc's program. my girlfriends uncle did that and it works perfectly. maybe its worth a try? oh, u wouldnt have the fast "acceleration"
