-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have been trying to get my desktop setup to share its dialup connection with my laptop - both connected by ethernet (crossover cable) to no avail. I tried doing it manually with various commands to iptables. Under MDK 9.0 it worked but under 9.1 it doesn't. I had created a script in 9.0 to do this:
#!/bin/sh echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward /sbin/iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/24 -i eth0 # setup masquerading /sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -s 192.168.0.0/24 -j MASQUERADE # allow anyting from the LAN to the internet /sbin/iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -j ACCEPT # statefull check /sbin/iptables -A FORWARD -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT # allow loopback traffic /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p ALL -i lo -j ACCEPT Now, if I run this nothing at all happens. Nothing gets added to iptables. If I do an 'iptables -L' it merely shows the default, vanilla, empty iptables. Next I tried setting this up via DrakConf and Drakegw. It SEEMED to set it up but when I then tried to connect my laptop to my desktop, the desktop (running, supposedly, dhcpcd) failed to give my laptop an address though I could see the polling from the laptop via gkrellm on the desktop. No ip assigned, no connection shared. What IS wrong here? I am using the 192.168.0.0 network at home. If I manually set my laptop to 192.168.0.2 (my desktop is 192.168.0.1 on ethernet), I connect to my desktop fine but cannot share its modem connection. What's the magic trick? What changed in this regard between 9.0 to 9.1 that broke my simple iptables script listed above? praedor - -- The First Amendment rests on the assumption that the widest possible dissemination of information from diverse and antagonistic sources is essential to the welfare of the public. - --Justice Hugo Black GnuPG fingerprint: D170 2A02 B426 6AA0 5E68 3EDC 68AA FDB0 961E 4F18 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+/PIbaKr9sJYeTxgRAqD7AKCED/1vXXZjokmINknTE4mI+mK6wgCfZbeH GFAWjMOg8Qk3Pmc+whRy1ys= =GwAx -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
