I cannot remember exactly but when I set up my on a dial up machine, all I ran on the machine connected to the web was:
iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -s 192.168.0.2 -d 0.0.0.0/0 -j MASQUERADE The command 'route' will display your router info. Any packets not found to be destined for local interfaces will be directed to the Inet. And this set up the default route with masquerading. Using the network config tools (MDK8.0) I set the inet machine address a the default gateway on the other clients. This works fine for me. Hope this helps a little. Maybe someone else could help explain further. Dave. On Tuesday 13 November 2001 14:50, Jose Orlando T.
