sharing DSL

I just hooked a Westell 327W to access my new Verizon DSL service. I can
start the DSL connection from my Linux box using an ethernet connection or
from my ibook using its built in wireless. No problems here.

But... If I start the DSL connection from the Linux box the iBook can't
see the net or if the DSL connection is made from the iBook the Linux box
can't see the net. What's up?

Does the Westell include a router function? If not, you need a router
(or, if you prefer, a change in configuration so one of your other
machines acts as router). If the Westell already has a router, it's
misconfigured. Since you gave no details, there's no way to tell what
the problem might be.

Yes, it's a modem/router. My old network was simple, jjust a dumb hub this
thing has me confused. Yes, I have the manual but don't understand most of
it.

BTW, the 327W is configure by pointing a browser to 192.168.1.1 but my
linux box and XP are refused connection but my iBook gets through and I've
been using that to configure the 327W.

thanks,
joe

First, make sure your IP addresses and netmasks are set appropriately
(i.e. either via DHCP or fixed with unique addresses in the subnet
specified by the netmasks which are set all the same; e.g. 192.168.1.2,
3, and 4 with netmask 255.255.255.0). Then you should be able to ping
each box from the other, and connect to the router from anywhere (unless
it's configured to only respond to certain IP or MAC addresses).

At that point, with the 327W's manual at your side, you should be able
to set it up to do NAT in conjunction with routing; not much else is
likely to be needed -- nothing fancy.

I set up the iBook to use DHCP and now I get:

IP Address: 192.168.1.46
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 192.168.1.1


From /var/log/syslog the Linux box is at IPA 71.246.66.132

The iBook can ping the 327W but not the Linux box.

When I installed DSL on the Linux box I used the Mandrake tools and may be
using PPPoE, is that my problem? Can you walk me through staighting it
out?

Thanks,
Joe

You need to tell the system how to get the packets from one place to
another. What is the route information on the lInux box and on the ibook?
How is the ibook to get the packets to whereever you want them to go.

Nope.
192.168.1.1 has to know how to deliver packets to the linux box. Does it?

I'm lost. Tell how? I'm getting very confused.

Yes, that's your problem. Your router is already doing PPPoE. You
should have a local address (i.e. 192.168.1.n) on your Linux box.

Set up the Linux box to access the Internet over your LAN (via a router)
rather than as if it were connected directly to the Internet (which it
may have been when you set it up, but it apparently isn't any more).

Linux box: I deleted the old connection and create a new to the LAN using
DHCP, but /var/log/messages says my IPA is 71.246.77.198

BTW, I cycled the power on the modem/router.

Why does the modem/router always assign the iBook something in the
192.168.1.x range (ai it should) but the linux box has than 71.246...

Must be a fouled up config file, perhaps something from my prior home net,
but what?
