Hello Guys.
I am kind of new to Linux and have decided to switch my xp machines from xp to suse. Fyi we have a small 3 pc lan at home and im tired of fixing viruses and trojans.
How do I share my dial up connection with the other 2 pc's? Is it going to be that hard?
Is this the correct way.. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/history/232169 ? Although I dont think I understand anything from that thread?
In principle yes, but with YaST it's much simpler. In the firewall configuration you simply check "forward traffic and do masquerading" on the machine with the dial-up and it will take care of it for you. Then on the other machines, you set the machine with the dial-up as default gateway and you're done on those as well. Very simple
I have an internal modem. what are the chances that'll be supported?
Pretty good. Chances for an exact answer would be much higher if you told us what kind of modem it is (brand/model)
