Clarification needed, are you going winxp/linux-->router-->internet or are
you doing linux-->router-->winxp-->internet ?
If you are doing winxp/linux-->router-->internet (broadband to router)you
should have your internet device connected to the wan port and set up
through the appropriate menus in the router. Also enable dhcp client on
the linux box and the windows box and allow the router to do the dhcp
service. The router will set itself as the gateway address.
If you are doing linux-->router-->winxp-->internet (dialup on the winxp
box) you should disable dhcp all around.. ignore the existance of the
router and set the ips sequincially (duh) and same subnet, and set the
gateway address on the linux box to be the ip of the winxp box. From
there you must fuss with ICS or get a third party app such as winproxy to
make the windows box route the proper stuff to the linux box. (I have no
experience in using ICS)
Im doing exactly the opposite network setup as my linux box does the
dialing and routing, and the winxp box is the client to the linux box I
use guarddog and gidedog found on
www.freshmeat.net for setting the
firewall and port forwarding required. (trolls dont poo me, I did ipmasq
and forwarding by hand in vi through 3 os versions/installs, this software
pair just made reconfigure a hell of a lot faster)
