[ILUG] Connecting to Net

[Michael Treacy]

Ok, so here's the thing:

I have a Linux network at work (school). I installed it over the summer and 
everything works just fine. I didn't set up the net connection at the time, 
'cos I didn't have to. Now I do!

I have two choices - an ISDN modem or a Router.

The server has an ISDN TA installed but I haven't configured it yet, so the 
router is the option.

The router has it's own IP address (192.168.10.50) and I can telnet to it 
from a test pc - I figured that I would configure one pc first.

I configured the test pc's net connection to use the local lan (it's a 
windows pc) and I set the gateway to the IP address of the router.

Problem is, when I try to connect to the net, I get diddly squat.

I've obviously forgotten something here. It worked fine when I used a Novell 
network last year - I just connected in the router and away we went.

Any help with this problem would be appreciated 'cos I have a bunch of 
"little old ladies" (apologies to any little old ladies who are ILUG 
members!)in the local retirement group breathing down my neck. They come in 
once a week to use the pc's after school and they want to use the internet.

Many thanks,

Mike.
