Hi Guys,
I've an existing gentoo box connecting directly to the internet via adsl and it will connect to internet automatically upon boot up.
I have a new computer (completely empty) and i want to install gentoo on that computer too and I want it to get internet connection via the existing gentoo box using a common hub. I have not yet decided to use a DHCP or a static IP for this new computer and I don't have a DHCP server on my existing gentoo box.
So now's the question, what software(s) should I emerge? Say if I prefer using DHCP, what are the list of software that I need to emerge and how should I configure them, if I want to use my new computer to play network games (Counter-Strike), use Gaim, ftp and internet browsing.
[Internet] -- adsl connect -- [Existing Gentoo] -- hub connect -- [New Gentoo]
Sorry for the openness of the question because I'm a newbie to setting up local network with linux. Any bit of help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks |
