linux and windows together - Windows 7 / Vista / XP Networking

It'll want to change your "LAN" interface IP address to 192.168.0.1 and
set up a DHCP server. You can go with that or just change it back to
192.168.1.1 after it finishes.

Yes. There are alternatives.

To continue to use your current ip scheme, first you need to enable
routing on the windows box.

On win9x this is

System Key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\VxD\MSTCP]
Value Name: EnableRouting
Data Type: (string value)
Value Data: (0 = disabled, 1 = enabled)

For winxp/2k/NT

System Key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Tcpip\Parameters]
Value Name: IPEnableRouter
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: (0 = disabled, 1 = enabled)

Then set a static route in the router configuration to send traffic
for network 192.168.1.0 via the gateway 192.168.2.2

On the linux box set the default gateway to be 192.168.1.1

If this is windows xp (and probably vista too?) there is a simpler
alternative of setting up a network bridge between the wired and
wireless adaptors on the windows machine.

This will avoid the need for routing and allow the wired linux box to
connect to the router as if it was wireless itself.

Thanks for informations...

Unfortunately I can't find how to set the router, so I can't tell you that
everything works fine...
I must work a little bit hard than I was estimate.
But this is the enjoyment too

Most routers will have a web interface
http://192.168.2.1

If you use the bridging option I mentioned you don't need to bother
with routing configuration. Just put everything on the 192.168.2.0
network.

I have set the IPEnableRouter to 1 (windwos xp become a router?)
I have set in linux the follow route.table.record:

192.168.2.0/24 gateway 192.168.1.1 (device ethernet)

But I can't ping 192.168.2.1 nor .2 nor .3





The second way does not attract me so much, but for the moment I have test
it too
But, when I create the bridge (with the two connections) , the bridge can't
receive the DHCP from the router... its IP become 0.0.0.0 (not valid)...

That's because you didn't set the static route on the router.

Your route on the linux box tells it where to find network 192.168.2.0
but there is no route back. The machines on network 2.0 cannot reply
to the ping because they need the static route on the router to be
able to find network 1.0
