    Question DSL Linux Networking To PC Via Crossover For Lan/Internet Browsing...

    hi,
    i am using x-dsl which is basically xbox port of dsl (damnsmalllinux) and i want to know in simple steps or complex if required how i network it as i have the equipment and have ftp'ed to my xbox in the evox (evolutionx) dashboard before using 192.168.1.5 as my xbox's ip... (if that helps?)
    i have NO router so don't even suggest it as if i can do it without one like i have in evox then i can do it in linux which i can so basically treat this as if if talking about networking a linux pc running damn small linux (DSL) to a windows (xp) based pc.what do i need to do and how can i share my internet connection?
    any links or suggestions are a blessing

    Good riddance. Wish I'd done it about a year ago.

    I'm assuming the WinXP PC is system with the internet connection, in that case, just turn on ICS (Internet Connection Sharing). The wizard does most of the work, you just need to make sure the xbox uses the same network range (192.168.1.0) as your PCs NIC.

    never used x-DSL before unfortunatly, so I don't know how it's init scripts configure the network card, however the generic Linux commands are as follows:

    Configure the network card -
    Code:
    ifconfig eth0 address 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0
    Add a route -
    Code:
    route add default gw 192.168.1.1
    these addresses assume that the IP address that ICS sets up is in the 192.168.1.0/24 network range, I can't remember the address that it definatly sets up. You could probibly add these commands to a script which can be run at boot time, however again, you'd have to find out how x-DSL's init script system works to do this, the script should look like this:

    Code:
    #!/bin/sh
    
    ifconfig eth0 address 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0
    route add default gw 192.168.1.1
    again, if you find ICS uses another network range (such as 192.168.0.0/24), change the script/settings acordenly.

    ICS includes a DHCP server, which is a nice way of saying "doesn't need you to mess about with manually setting your IP address and things".

    or in other words "run 'dhclient eth0' as root on the xbox, with ICS enabled on the windows machine"

    you could call it a DHCP server

    but yea, that would be much easier.
