Have you made sure that IP forwarding is allowed? You have to write 1 to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward And for the record, here's the iptables command I use: iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING --jump MASQUERADE --out-interface eth0 > One thing that is working, however, is that my laptop has apache web > server up and running, so maybe i can spoof the mirror locally, but > i'm not ready to download all the mirror files so i would need to > know if that would work before trying it. Any suggestions? Yep, it would work. However, you probably want to get the net going on the O2 in any case. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
