PING www.yahoo.akadns.net (216.115.105.2): 56 data byes
ping: sendto: Network is unreachable

Anybody know what that message means and how I can fix it? I'm playing around with slackware linux on a laptop networked to my win2k machine. I want to share my internet(dialup) connection win2k(ics) to laptop. I can ping the win2k machine, but I can't get outside.
 
I'm running linux on a machine inside a network that is (suppose) to get it's IP from the win2k ICS box...

However, it doesn't get the IP properly from the server. So I had to manually set the IP,gateway, subnetmask, and DNS servers to get internet access... (it's a half-a$$ed solution but it's better than nothing)

I use Caldera OpenLinux which probably doesn't configure like Slackware but i hope this helps.

I had everything set manually before, since I wanted it to work with my office lan too. I'm not sure if I had the gateway set up though. It's only set in the rc.inet1 file, I'm not sure exactly which file. But would I need to use the 'route' command to set up the gateway? When I use the command the gateway I chose doesn't show up, it's only a '*'.
 
which file are you editing for your network card right now?

there's a etho-config file somewhere (I'm in win2k right now)

I got it working. Apparently I was missing an 'route add -net ....' Thanks for your help I appreciate it. HOWTO Docs are great.. 😀

edit: Now I gotta set up security and figure out what I can do with Linux... 😎
