I'm currently migrating my windows machine to dual boot with gentoo (the final goal is to abandon windows). The machine has two network cards: one for local network (eth0 in linux) and one for Internet (eth1).
Currently the machine in question is set up as firewall, NAT and DNS forwarder using commercial software (Winroute Firewall) and the other machine on the network is surfing the WWW through the gateway machine.
Can anyone share experience with setting up a similar thing with linux at the gateway?
so far:
I compiled the kernel with netfilter/iptables as modules and set up a configuration helper and a DNS forwarder (namely FireHOL and dnsmasq). The firewall is working, the DNS forwarder is working, but the other machine is able to connect only to the gateway machine.
I don't mind starting all over from scratch, just want to get it working alredy.
