    Re: Sharing Internet Connection

    the one wich is connected to the internet needs two NIC's.

    one to connect to the outside (internet) and to do nat and the other needed to have a crossover cable directly to the second 'puter.

    use iptables to do the nat stuff for you.

    The iptables stuff...


    iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE

    also edit the /etc/sysctl.conf and change the ip_forward = 0 to 1. then do "sysctl -p".
