Re: Home Networking
I'll assume you have a cable modem or DSL. Do you have the debian machine
online? If not, apt-get install dhcpcd . What does it say when you type
"ifconfig"? Provide your /etc/dhcp.conf file and your etc/network/interfaces
file. And what does the windows machine say when you run "winipcfg"? If the
debian machine is online, and just the windows is not connecting, then possibly
just apt-get install ipmasq will do the trick. This assumes the windows machine
has been configured before to run in this way. If not, there are some windows
settings to deal with. I'm no expert, but I've spent the last 10 days or so
accomplishing the very thing you're struggling with, so I feel your pain.
