I have a dual boot linux box networked to a windows 98SE box. When I am booted to linux I am unable to access the windows box at all. Anybody familiar with this gateway router and how to get it to work with the DHCP protocol or do I have to set up linux as the server? thanks Sean Maloney
I use the NetGear RT311 router, which is essentially the same box sans the switch ports. It works just fine with my very heterogenious environment, which includes Win98, WinXP, W2K, SuSE Linux, and Sun Solaris 8/Sparc. The RT311 is my DHCP server, and seems to work OK in this regard. All my boxes can "see" each other, i.e., I can ping from one to another, or telnet from one to another. Can you ping the Win98 box from Linux? If so, then perhaps the problem is an SMB configuration issue? -ronc On Tuesday 26 June 2001 08:43, Sean Maloney wrote:

The router is going to have an ip address, you use that for your gateway and dhcp on the windows machines and for Linux you set your nic to use the routers ip address to provide dhcp. Ive got a SMC router and its works great on my network 2 linux - 2 win2k - 1 win98 of course for simplcity sake, you want to be on the same subnet eg 10.54.1.X or if you want different subnets you need to use a wins server (samba can do that) eg 10.54.6.1 router 10.54.6.x dhcp machine1 10.54.6.x dhcp machine2 10.54.6.x dhcp machine2 10.54.6.x dhcp machine2 Im assuming the netgear can do dhcp... I know my SMC does better with dhcp rather than static ips rob Sean Maloney wrote:
