Can any body help me How To set my config?
I mean , I'm the only LINUX(RedHat9.0) -station in
our Company (Windows2000-LAN) , but I can't get
internet connection. can anybody say how to setup
ports (8080 ), gateway ect.. to lose the problem ..tanks

if ur company is running a windows 2000 gateway without ISA server then u can do this. type netconfig and select yes when it says do u want to configure ur network. in the next screen, enter the ipaddress, subnet mask of ur system. in the gateway tab enter the ip address of the windows 2000 gateway. enter the ip of the primary dns and then select ok. then on the console type service network restart. then check if ur internet connectivity is working by pinging yahoo.com or host www.yahoo.com . if u have ISA installed at the gateway then u can have some problems with browsing. i believe there is a howto available for that. also search the LP forums as i remember quite a few ppl posted the same question.
