Topic: rogers cable

[peter]

Am having trouble with the settings for rogers cable (internet sharing server). Can anyone post an example.

thx

can you be more specific about your physical setup, and intended mode of operation?

When you say Internet Connection Sharing, under Windows this means using one workstation as a gateway for another machine on the network. Is this what you want to do?  Or will you use an ethernet 4-, 5-, or 8-port hub to connect the other machines to?

of course you're using e-smith to "internet share", there are some good guides on Cable Modem connections, and also search the lists here, but I think a frequent obstacle is to use DHCP with the system name, which means the system name you configure into e-smith should be the user id Rogers supplied

Thanks for the response.

The system will be connected to other machines running win98, via a 5 port hub. I have'nt connected the hub yet, just trying to get the internet connection tested positive.

The settings are basically operation mode - dedicated server and gateway, DHCP enabled - send system name as client id (this is a number given to me by rogers cable, crxxxxx-a) , DNS service - not used. local ip address 192.168.101.1. local subnet mask 255.255.255.0, DHCP host numbers from 192.168.101.65 to 198.168.101.258. Pimary domain name tofu-dog.com (can be anything, or should it be the isp domain name?), system name crxxxxx-a, external proxy - no.

The ethernet adapters in the server are external - dlink 530 tx - picked up as via rhine, and internal smc ez 10/100 smc 1211 series, picked up as rt18139.
