A perplexing conundrum... Wingate/Linux
Alright people, I've got a question for you all.
We have a multi-machine LAN set up in the house using Coax cables. My
parents each have a Win98 comp, my mom's is connected to the Net and she
passes it to us using Wingate. We have a registered copy, so no need to
worry there. The problem, however, lies in that I am running a dual
Linux-Win98 machine (the Win98 comes out very soon after I solve this, and a
few more, problems) and I would like to access the Net. Now, following
typical parent protocol, they intend to maintain control of the Net
connection, so I can't set my machine up as the server and use IP
masquerading as has been suggested in other messages of this nature. I've
got the Network (dual IPX and TCP/IP) working such that I can ping the other
people, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get my comp to link
into Wingate. If there is a way, can you explain it? I've tried setting it
as a proxy under Netscape, using it as my defaul gateway, etc., but it
doesn't seem to be working. Can someone who's managed to solve a similar
problem tell me how to do this? I would appreciate it a lot.
Signed,
Ian Neufeld
