Use Internet Connection Sharing (ICS).
Use a router.
First, you need one computer, called the host computer, that is connected to the Internet and that has a separate connection to the other computers on your network. You enable ICS on the Internet connection. The other computers on your network then connect to the host computer, and from there to the Internet through the host computer's shared Internet connection.
Set Up the Computer That Will Share the Connection (Host computer)
Start with the computer that will share the Internet connection. First set up your Internet connection,and then use the Network Setup Wizard to configure the computer by taking the following steps
Create and test an Internet connection using the information in the “Connecting to the Internet”.
Click on start Right-click Network and choose Properties from the context menu. You’ll see the Network and Sharing Center window.Click the Manage Network Connection link.
Setting Up a Client Computer
Next, set up the first of your client computers. Make sure the Internet connection is still open on the computer you set up to share it, and then take the following steps
Open the Internet Options applet in the Control Panel. You’ll see the Internet Properties dialog box. Select the Connections tab.
Choose the Never Dial a Connection option.Click LAN Settings to display the Local Area Network (LAN) Settings dialog box.
Check the Automatically Detect Settings and the Use Automatic Configuration Script
options. Clear the Use a Proxy Server for Your LAN option. Click OK twice to change
the settings.
NOTE: You may have to reboot or at least log out and then back into the system to make the connection work. Windows may not acknowledge the availability of the shared connection otherwise.
You have windows XP and linux on the same hard disk and you choose GRUB as boot loader.At boot time you see a menu to choose windows or linux.
But one day you reinstall Windows XP and it rewrites your MBR and the menu has gone, now you only can boot windows.
What to do:
Put the redhat boot disk you created on the installation on the floppy drive, boot the system and run grub command
Remember that for grub (hd0,1) means hda (primary controller master), second partition.
Now we need to tell grub where are the grub files:
If you know where they are, type something like:
root (hd0,1)
else if you have no idea, type:
find /boot/grub/stage1
and then the root command with the correct parameters:
setup (hd0)
to install it on hd0, that is MBR of the first HD.
type quit and reboot.
The menu will appear again.
If you want to make some changes to the boot menu, you must edit the file: /boot/grub/menu.lst
A sample menu.lst file is this:
