- ICS with RedHat behind W2K
- Posted by Ice Sickle on January 18th, 2004
have RH9 that i want to connect to the net behind windows 2K machine.
Enabled ICS on the external NIC on my W2k machine but don't know what
settings to change on my linux box.
Went to network configuration. Selected the adapter and clicked on edit.
Selected 'automatically obtain IP address with dhcp'
What do i put under dhcp hostname (optional)?
Do I selected 'automatically obtain DNS information from provider'?
Basically my setup doesn't work. I've shutdown ZA on my W2K box so it's not
like my firewall is blocking my linux box. What settings worked for people
who tried similar setup?

Win2K doesn't use DHCP server. Typyically, Microsoft users the 192.168.0.1
has the computer sharing the intenet connection. So you will need to set
up Linux to use 192.168.0.1 as its gateway, and assign it an IP in the
192.168.0.x range, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255.

my dhcp is provided by my ISP so i have dynamic configuration on my windows
box's external NIC.
So. The only thing I've done on my windows box is to enable ICS on my
exernal NIC. So my settings on my internal NIC now look like:
IP Address: 192.168.0.1
SubNet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: [Empty] <- Do I need to enter something here manually.
On my linux box I did the following:
Network Configuration=>Devices Tab=>Select 'Eth0'=>
Statically Setup Ip Address: 192.168.0.2
SubNet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway Address: 192.168.0.1
Network Configuration=>DNS Tab=>
HostName: LocalHost.LocalDomain
Primary DNS: 234.234.2.234
Secondary DNS: 234.234.2.235
Tertiary DNS: 234.234.2.236
DNS Search Path: localdomain
DNS servers ip addresses above i got by doing 'ipconfig -all' in windows.
Again, Zone Alarm is not running.
I can ping the windows machine from linux box without problems but still
can't use browser.
Also tried pinging the Gateway on my external NIC and the DNS servers given
on 'ipconfig-all' without any response.
So did I filled out all those options correctly?
Thanks a bunch for helping me out.

Your ISP's dhcp service will only assign an address to the machine
connected to their network; the Win machine in your case. The machines on
your network will need their own addresses, which can either be hard-coded
into a "hosts" file or assigned by a local dhcp server on your network.
Having a dhcp server on your network is probably the best long term
solution, but it's your choice. It doesn't matter which machine provides
the dhcp service. If you're more comfortable with Windows there's no
reason why you can't do it there.
This should be the ip address of your external NIC.
Do you have NAT (network address translation) working on the Win machine?
Without that, machines behind the gateway will not be able to access
things on the internet.
FWIW, setting this up in linux instead of Windows is quite simple in my
experience.

I remember sometime ago i had a rh9 behind a winxp ICS, get the linux box to
obtain everything from the "internet computer", if dhcp is not working try
bootp.

Windows 2K & Windows XP ICS _does_ include a DHCP server. I agree
though, that hardcoding the Linux box makes sense. The subnet mask
will need to be 255.255.255.0, otherwise you won't be able to talk to
anything but yourself.
When you enabled ICS, I presume you enabled it for the internet
connected interface? Make sure you don't have the firewall enabled
for the internal network interface on the windows box. Also on the
RH9 box, try stopping iptables as the default firewall config will
prevent dhcp from working.
