The following instructions were supplied by Steven Young of Silas Tech steve@silastech.com and are reproduced here with his permission. They were last modified April 29, 2000.
A1: The IP address assigned to your DirecPC board
or USB modem (at the time when DirecPC was installed)
A2: The Gateway address.
A3: The DNS address[s] from the same stack. (As
per your ISP's instructions)
A4: The Subnet Mask to use is 255.255.255.0
Now reboot the PC and don't start anything.
Using Control Panel Network, configure the TCP/IP properties on the server as follows:
Network Interface Card for the LAN
Be sure you have installed the WinPkFilter driver.
Run NAT32.EXE and select Dial-Up Networking "NONE", and LAN interfaces "2".
The Interface Configuration dialog boxes will now appear. Depending on your system, the DirecPC adapter or the private LAN Adapter will come up first, but the DirecPC adapter dialog box will contain mostly zeros.
Configure the DirecPC adapter as follows:
NAT32 IP Addr = the value you recorded in step A1
above.
Primary Interface = true
Mask = 255.255.255.0
Gateway = the value you recorded in step A2 above.
Name Server = auto
Filter Address = 0.0.0.0
Configure the private LAN adapter as follows:
NAT32 IP Addr = 192.168.1.254
Primary Interface = false
Mask = 255.255.255.0
Gateway = 0.0.0.0
Name Server = Auto
Filter Address = 192.168.1.1
That should do it for the server side of things!
Now run NAT32.EXE 2
Normally I run NAT32 first, then run the DirecPC program
Now for the client machine. Relax!! at this point, this should be a breeze.
Using Control Panel Network, configure the TCP/IP Properties as follows:
IP Address: 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.254
Set up DNS configuration as HOST: hostname and DOMAIN:
direcpc.com
Set DNS search order to 192.168.1.254 only.
On the client, your Internet Explorer browser should be set to "never dial a connection". For LAN Settings, choose only "automatically detect settings". DO NOT check "use a proxy server". Configure any other client machines in a similar way. Good luck. -Steve
If the private LAN Adapter (192.168.1.254) is the first Adapter to show up in a NAT32 Interface Configuration Dialog Box, it will be NAT32 Logical Interface number 2. Then do the following:
If the private LAN Adapter (192.168.1.254) is the second
Adapter to show up in a NAT32 Interface Configuration Dialog Box, it will
be NAT32 Logical Interface number 3. Then do the following:
