Coonection Linux to a WinME box with ICS

[TruffleGuy]

I need some direction in connecting a Linux (RedHat 6) to a WinME box with Internet Connection Sharing (ICS).

Can anyone give me any direction on doing this??

I know its a stupid thing to do but I just want to do it for the heck of it.

I did this once on a Win 98 box with ICS. I'm doing this from memory, and it has been a while since I did this, so it may not be entirely correct.

During the ICS installation, specify the WinME box to be the gateway. I think it'll generate a private IP for you, 192.168.0.1. Then I believe you have to reboot for changes to take effect.

On your Linux box, specify the gateway to be 192.168.0.1, and put in your ISP's DNS servers in /etc/resolv.conf Then reboot or just run your networking rc scripts for the changes to take effect. You should now be able to access the Net using your Linux box as a masqed client behind ICS.

Like I said, I did this with Win98SE and the ICS that came with it. MS may have changed ICS with ME, but I wouldn't know that.

Good luck!
