Problem:
Since I changed the network settings on my Win98 machine from obtain an IP
address automatically to specify an IP address so that my Linux box can see
it using samba, I now get a DNS configuration problem when I connect to the
Internet using my dial-up connection. What should I do? To help here are
the settings below.
Before I connected Samba:
Win98 Box Configuration:
TCP/IP ? Intel Ethernet Card Properties settings: Obtain IP address
automatically
Dial Up Networking Setting:
Dial Up Server type: PPP:Internet, Winnt server, Win98
TCP/IP settings:
*Server assigned IP address
*Server assigned name server addresses
*Use IP header compression
*Use default gateway on remote network
Advanced options that are checked: enable software compression
Allow network protocol are checked
After Networking with samba:
To setup a private network I gave the WIN98 machine
Same as above Dial Up networking settings
Instead of using obtain an IP address for the Ethernet card setting.
I used specify an IP address
IP address: 192.168.1.3
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Winconfig ? Blank
Gateway ? 255.255.255.1
My Linux box is using IP address: 192.168.1.2
