    Windows XP Gateway Control

    Hey, I am running 2 computers. One box is running Windows XP Pro SP2 and the other is running Kubuntu 6.06.1. I have the Windows box sharing the dialup internet connection with the built in Windows ICS and everything works fine. I am just wondering, is there is a way to control (connect/disconnect) the gateway from my Kubuntu box?

    Hi Samshiel,
    I'm not sure I understand your question. I think you want to connect to the Internet
    at your Kubuntu box via the modem connection at your XP box.

    You can use the Linux 'mount route' command to define the gw such as:

    sudo mount route add default 192.168.1.2 eth0

    instead of 'add' use 'del' to delete the gw

    Hope this is the answer to your question.

    Jim

    Note; I found a thread at Ubuntu that has to do with this problem and a work around.

      I guess you mean "route" instead of "mount", no ?
