I am still stuck at this point, and frustrated as well. Having said this, I have somewhat started over. That really didn't help any, as I'm still back at the point I was before. (I'm able to ping back and forth, I can reach the internet from the Linux box, but not from the windows box.) Based on a suggestion from this group, I changed my subnet to 192.168.100.0 Below is a copy of ifconfig, dhcpd.conf: Questions: 1. I have run lokkit and said NO FIREWALL--Will this allow everything to pass from the Linux box, windows box and vice-versa? If not, what do I need to do? 2. I have set the windows box to obtain dhcp from my Linux box. Anything else I need to set on the windows side? 3. What tool could I use and what would I be looking for? I just want to get down to the basics with nothing turned on that doesn't have to be in order to just be able to run. Again, thanks! ============================================================ eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:09:5B:1A:D0:45 inet addr:192.168.1.1 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:5968 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:8810 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:2045819 (1.9 Mb) TX bytes:1073986 (1.0 Mb) Interrupt:5 Base address:0x3000 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:09:5B:1F:37:94 inet addr:192.168.100.1 Bcast:192.168.100.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:4826 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:18928 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:1436667 (1.3 Mb) TX bytes:1738077 (1.6 Mb) Interrupt:9 Base address:0x5000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:277545 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:277545 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:19003246 (18.1 Mb) TX bytes:19003246 (18.1 Mb) ======================================================= DHCP--- ddns-update-style interim; ignore client-updates; subnet 192.168.100.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { option routers 192.168.100.1; option domain-name-servers 205.152.37.254, 205.152.0.20; range dynamic-bootp 192.168.100.10 192.168.100.20; default-lease-time 21600; max-lease-time 43200; } ========================================================== __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
