Previously, I was using wvdial.dod and ip masquerading with an analog modem to get my network connected to the internet. Now I get Pac Bell DSL (dynamic IP) and a Westel DSL modem, I'm totally clueless on how to get my linux box to work with this new device. My windows system is running flawlessly with the provided software with a 911kps downward rate. Any ideas for the rest of my network?
Firstly, congradulations. The world is your oyster now that you have a fat pipe like some of us have enjoyed for so long. Secondly, from experience (last night, actually), I'd *highly* recommend starting out with Coyote Linux, at http://www.coyotelinux.com/. It has basic firewalling (but not much to speak of), runs no unnecessary services, and allows (almost) full IP forwarding capabilities. The *best* part about Coyote is the fact that it has an incredibly easy setup process. Get the tarball and an msdos or vfat HD floppy disk, and you'll be up in no time at all. I'd recommend that you not use the pre3 release that was announced on freshmeat this week, though. Get one of the stable ones from the FTP site. -- -=|JP|=- Jon Pennington | Atipa Linux Solutions -o) jpennington@atipa.com | http://www.atipa.com /\\ Kansas City, MO, USA | 816-241-2641 x121 _\_V 6D04 39E0 CAE9 9ADA 2CA3 2EBE 898A 6C37 CA1E A29C -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
