I am currently running one Linux box with Mandrake 8.2
The Idea is to use this Linux box as an internet gateway and network addressing server for my other windows boxes I got the Linux box connected to my cable modem on eth0, and to a hub on eth1. The Linux box has internet connectivity, but I am haveing trouble sharing the internet connection with my windows boxes. I have two NIC cards in the Linux box and from what I can tell they are both working properly
I am able to ping the Linux box from the Windows and pull IP's from it using winipcfg.
The windows boxes show the correct subnet mask for the eth1 (LAN) card on the Linux box and they show the IP address for that same card as the gateway. From my experience using ICS in a windows only environment, this seems correct. However, when I open a browser on one of the windows boxes, it times out.
I used the drakex wizard to configure the Linux bos for ICS so it's very possible that it misconfigured something but I dont' know what it could be.
Any advise on this matter is appreciated.
Thanks In Advance,
Adam
