Re: Home Made SUSE 10 Wireless Router

upstairs computer. I have the exact same wireless adapter on my down
stairs computer. I'm to cheap to buy a router. Is there anyway I can
setup SUSE 10 on the upstairs computer to turn the wireless adapter into a
router and share my external dialup connection with the down stairs
computer?
At one point in time I plugged the external modem into the down stairs
computer. I installed and setup DHCP and DNS and turned the on-board LAN
into a wired router. I was able to get a internet connection going to my
brother's PS2. I don't remember for the life of me how I did that.
I managed to setup DHCP and DNS on the upstairs computer and I was able to
get the downstairs computer to connect to the upstairs one via wireless
network. SUSE 10 told me it was able to get IP address assigned to it and
I was even able to access files on the system. How ever I was still unable
to get the downstairs computer to access the internet via the external
modem I have on the upstairs computer. I have the network working and the
upstairs computer is working as a wireless router. So I'm half way there.
Now I just need to figure out how to share the internet through the
network. Any ideas?
|
Does the downstairs computer have a global (as opposed to local) IP address?
If not, you may have to enable NAT (network address translation) in the
kernel.
Also, what services are allowed to go through the firewall (if any) on
the upstairs
computer?

Re: Wireless Adapter Works better in Windows, WTF!

| Quote: | I got a Belkin PCI wireless adapter at Wal-Mart for like $30 something. I
was glad to see that it works in SUSE 10. The thing though is it seems to
get a better signal when I use it in Windows XP then when I use it in SUSE
10. Another thing I noticed is the green LED on the back of it only comes
on when I'm in Windows.
Right now I'm getting the feeling it has something to do with the linux
driver. I didn't have to install anything to get it to work in SUSE. I
just set it up with YAST and I had it working in less then 5 minutes. It
actually took longer to set up in Windows XP. I'm using the drivers that
came with the CD to install on XP.
I just want to know why I get a piss pore signal when using Linux. Don't
ask me the chipset, I don't know. I've had it for weeks. I didn't even
noticed the signal difference between Windows and Linux until a day or go.
I almost never use Windows.

I had the same puzzle until I discovered that using the supplied
software/drivers that came with my BT Voyager 54g PCMCIA card,
ndiswrapper and Knoppix/Debian 4.0 (kernel 2.6.11) I oculd access the
power settings for the device (not just the hardware switch, I mean the
whole shebang) so I could set the transmit power from 0% to 100% in 10%
increments, and the gain... well, I just whacked that straight up, with
a filter on the TCP layer if the thing overdeviated. Job done. |

Why have you multi-posted this and made us look at it in multiple
newsgroups? A simple cross-post with follow-ups set would have
been more than enough.
Also, when you post dates, you might use ISO standard dating, to
avoid confusion across cultures. I doubt that yesterday was
2006-03-04.

Your post to at least these five newsgroups is not on topic. Please
confine your whining to comp.os.linux.advocacy, where someone might care.
If you absolutely must post the same article to more than one newsgroup,
first determine that the article is on topic for that group, and then
include the newsgroup names in a comma separated list in the 'Newsgroups:'
header. Do not post to more that five newsgroups, as that is generally
considered spamming. Read the fine RFC1855, and find out why.

meanwhile i've even tried to "strace -e trace=file make help" the thing,
but i cannot see some file or mechanism that could cause this.
would you know about any issues about maybe symlinks, "define"
statements or files prerequisite to a kernel make? i can develop
software without problems everywhere else, only the kernel makes fail!

i'm running 'uname -rms' Linux 2.6.8-3-686 i686, debian-3.1 with all

but you're right, it must be something like this, but more on the side

configured or installed that interferes.
if the Makefile were damaged, i should have seen it when diffing against
other Makefiles, right?
back when i was using FreeBSD, i had a bug torturing me where an
environment variable setting "egrep" default options caused an obscure

weeks to find out, and i was the only one ever encountering it. today
i recursively grepped for "filechk_version.h", which is the "define"
"make" doesn't seem to like. and i ran "strace", even on a locally

Re: can I run linux from a CD, without installing it?

Thanks! If I boot from Knoppix, is there a way that I can install
additional software, which is not included in the bundle? Since
Knoppix doesn't touch the harddisk, I guess one can't install extra
software. Is there to get around?
Thanks,
xian |

I don't think so, unless you install it to the hard disk. What makes you
think the included software isn't going to be enough?

Knopix, Mandrake-One, ....
Yes there are lots of single CD Linux version which work from the CD.
Debian does not have a single CD version AFAIK.

Is there a way to run linux from a CD without installing it on my
computer (and hence can avoid repartition the computer)? If so, which
linux vendor should I try? I'm fairly new to linux, so I guess debian
may be too much for me (since it requires lots of manual configuration
of the systems).
In addition, my laptop is windows, I'm not sure whether it'll work with
linux since some hardwares (such as winmodems) are only designed for
windows. How could I find out whether I can run linux properly?

Your winmodem may or may not work.
Put in a single CD version and try it!

You would have to install it onto the disk. You could mount the windows
partition and install the stuff on there.
You obvioulsy cannot install them onto the CD.

Thanks to both of you for your replies! I use linux for some
scientific computation, and it's very probable that the additional
softwares that I need will not be part of the standard bundle.
I originally consider installing linux like fedora core, but this
requires repartitioning my computer, and yet, I don't know whether it
can work with any OS other than windows.
I think I should boot from Knoppix and will try to mount the windows
partition and install additional software there. Is there any risk in
doing this, since it touches windows? Any tips are highly welcome!
If I find out my computer works with Linux, then I probably will try to
install linux on my harddisk. Is there any good and free partition
tool available? If I install linux, shall I install Knoppix or fedora
core? I only had experience in installing and using fedora.
Thanks!
