(My Linux Box is the only machine that has an outside connection). I have set up the Win95 Box to access the internet via a "proxy server" with the address for my Linux Box as the "Proxy server". But, when I try to make the connection, I get a big display saying that I am not authorized to access whatever site thru this server. Question, What all is involved in setting the Linux Box up as a proxy server? I'd appreciate any hints and pointers that could help in getting this little problem solved:-) Thanx Loads! -- cya l8r Leon McClatchey mailto:leonmcclatchey@homemail= .com Party on Linux:-) -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e --===============2395916096833346100==-- From kyle@dsndata.com Wed Apr 22 19:12:00 1998 From: kyle@dsndata.com To: users@lists.opensuse.org Subject: [S.u.S.E.

It's a kernel option. I think that there is some info on it in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/Masquerading. It lets the other two win 95 machines use my dialup connection while I'm using the connection. It's really cool. It sends the right packets to the right machines automagically. Although 3 people sharing one modem does slow things down on occasion. If you set up diald, your linux machine will start up your internet connection whenever it gets a request from any of the machines for a machine that you can't resolve in your hosts file. Hope this helps. -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e --===============8608548350882587887==-- From leonmcclatchey@homemail.com Fri Apr 24 03:07:24 1998 From: leonmcclatchey@homemail.com To: users@lists.opensuse.org Subject: Re: [S.u.S.E.

So I went to look at the documentation and set the Kernel up according to its directions. I then used Yast to change the configuration files to enable masquerading. Still can't get the connection:-( But, I did discover that Suse has SMP already in, just needed to be activated and reconfigured. I did that, did the init 1... init 2 thing and boom, I could access all the file areas and printers on the linux box as virtual drives:-) Not real happy with the printer tho, it has a problem printing in landscape mode:-( But for most printouts, it does work pretty well:-) I still got the not authorized error when I tried to access the internet from my win95 machine. I think it may have something to do with trying to go thru Apache? I saw some instructions on how to set up Apache as a proxy server but couldn't find the source files to do the reconfiguration and recompile with:-( > If you set up diald, your linux machine will start up your > internet connection whenever it gets a request from any of the machines > for a machine that you can't resolve in your hosts file. > BTW, is it necessary to activate RARP? My internet connection is a dynamically generated number. How do you set that up in the masquerade? From what I understand of Masquerading, I want the packets to come to my Linux box and then the Linux box reroutes them to the actual machine?
