Newbie - How SuSE Linux COnnect to Windows 2003 Internet Connection

Cipherfx · 01-03-2005, 07:57 AM

Foremost, Im a newbie to Linux, try to make it simple - Please and Thanks.

I set up SuSE Linux 9.1 on workstation and I want to have internet connection. The internet is directly connected to Windows 2003 Server.

The Server[Windows] has a internet connection via Gilat Satellite system and it uses Winproxy 5.1 to share it internet connection to multiple machine via LAN(Ethernet)

How do SuSE connect to Windows for Internet Connection?

Thanks in Advance

Use the IP address from the windows server as your gateway on the Suse workstation. Use the outside DNS servers IP addresses as the DNS on the Suse workstation. That should work. Obviously you need to start checking if you can ping the windows server first to test network connectivity.

I'l try that as what you said, although still familiarizing SuSE as to where I'l start from the point you said since I'm more familiar with Windows but anyway thanks.

I'l get back to you tommorow since its 11:52 PM here in the Philippines

Hi, I'm still lost.

Can you give me step by step as to where will I start, specifically changing the IP address.

Points to consider: Windows 2003[server] is using Winproxy 5.1 to distribute Internet Connection

Really needs your help

Thanks
