this Lynx is hard to get used to...
I just installed FreeBSD on my server and after my thwarted attempts at connecting to... anything (LAN or internet) and lack of documentation at my access, i decided to install Red Hat 7.2 instead (i even installed 32 MB RAM to get it to work this time) . I can only get one of my ethernet cards to work, luckily its the one to the internet (obviously), but i need the other ethernet card to work in order to do IP masquerading. How should i go about trying to get this second ethernet card to work?
Is there any good HOWTO on networking (i'll try linuxdoc.org too).
Oh yeah, In windows both ethernet card were using the same (or close to the same drivers) although they were different ethernet cards. I could install two of the same ethernet cards.I happen to have 4 ethernet cards that are the same as the one i am using right now for the internet. Would it be better to use two of the same brand/driver or two different cards?

Master of Reality:
I trudged through some of the HOWTOs at www.linuxdoc.org but none of them will help me right now.
Perhaps i will try out a different network card, since no one has replied with a suggestion yet, and i'm bored.
---
I just did a couple circles (installing different NICs) and now i seem to have it bassically setup. Both interfaces show up in 'ifconfig' and under 'netstat -rn' it shows their settings, etc.
Now all i gotta do is setup a firewall, ipchains, and IP masquerading. Do i have to do any recompiling of the kernel to setup ny of those or are they already in kernel 2.4.7 ?

Master of Reality:
How the hell do i set up a Proxy or IP masquerading. I went through all the HOWTOs and online guides at www.linuxdoc.org None of them told me what exactly i have to do to setup IP masquerading, they tell me what IP masquerading is, but i know what it is, I want to run IP masquerading. There is absolutely no HOWTO for setting up a Proxy server there.
So far, i can get my clients to ping the server ethernet adapter and the servers internet adapter, But they cant ping anything on the internet yet. Can anyone help with this?
I wanna set-up a proxy server, whats a good proxy, squid?

-----------
I downloaded and installed squid. I still found little to no documentation on setting up a Proxy server, so it looks like i will go searching some more.
what command do i use to edit the config file (/usr/local/squid/etc/squid.conf)??
I did "vi /usr/local/squid/etc/squid.conf" but the file didnt have anything in it!

Master of Reality:
where's VoidMain when you need him, he runs a proxy.

voidmain:
"IP Masq" and "Proxy" are two completely different things but I will give you some basic information and configuration later this evening. Got to check my son's homework first...
