well.. if it's just ufwest.net (sorry.. stuck on the old pun) you can grab up to about 8 ip's without pissing off the networking guys.. just plug a hub into the DSL router, and setup the other box.. otherwise if you can only have one box.. you will need to setup a linux box with 2 network cards to do ip_masq. which is a fairly simple thing to setup.. then you can do fancy stuff from there.. beware, DSL can sometimes route packets from your box, to your roomies box THROUGH the dsl line.. i've seen it before on ufwest.net service.. http://www.leonine.com/voice for a couple of good laughs at UFQwest's expsense. :) Thank You, Ben Kochie (ben at nerp.net) *-----------------------* [ - * - * - * - * - * - * - * - ] | Unix/Linux Consulting | [ Haiku Error Message: ] | PC/Mac Repair | [ Chaos reigns within. ] | Networking | [ Reflect, repent, and reboot. ] | http://nerp.net | [ Order shall return. ] *-----------------------* [ - * - * - * - * - * - * - * - ] "Unix is user friendly, Its just picky about its friends."

(did I suck up enough?) Anyway my friend has DSL from USwest ohh no I'm sorry its now Quest. What I want to do is hook up our computers so that both of us can play Half-life online sharing the one DSL Connection. Now my question is if possible how would I get this idea to work. I believe that some how it must be possible due to the simplicity of windows networking, but I thought that I would get a second opinion and some suggestions first before I drag my computer over. > Thanks for any help. > > A loyal Linux user. > > > > ------ http://USFamily.Net/info - Unlimited Internet - From $7.99/mo! ------ > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org
