hhmm.. sometime you may want to have windows XP as gateway instead of linux…
the reason might be varies.. depend on the current situation you’re having .
let’s start.
go to Start > run >
type regedit … press Ok.
something as below should appear..
browse to HKEY_CURRENT_MACHINE]\\ 
right click at IPEnableRouter -> Modify … change the value to 1.
as this pic.
i think have to reboot your machine after changing those registry before it can be
effective.. else log out and log in back also can work..
hmm.. now connect the U-Mobile or your modem to internet what so ever.
then.. need to setup internet connection sharing for this modem with other network device..
go to Start -> Connect -> All Connection
then.. i think just have to follow this sequence
this will assign the ip of 192.168.0.1 to the selected network device straight away..
but if you want to change also can..
after clicking yes…
go back to the that network device properties..
at tcp/ip .. put in your desired ip.. and netmask.. but leave the gateway as blank..
from other pc.. can use this ip as gateway ip address.
from linux.. system-config-network..
set static ip.. and the ip of windows xp as gateway
I got better one after a few minute..
by adding this two line before line 602 (/usr/share/system-config-network/netconfpkg/gui/maindialog.py)
if (not isinstance (host.Hostname, str)):
continue
now it works like charms again.. hehe.. 😎
This was helpful. Summary: if the /etc/hosts file is not well-formed, the python script doesn’t handle it well. In my case, somehow a long entry that was commented out got “line wrapped”, leaving some uncommented garbage on the next line. Fixing the hosts file or adding the above patch “worked”. It seems that some complaint to the user should be generated in such a case, though.
@UncleOp , Glad it help.. thanks for dropping by..
