Hello,

I use a CentOS desktop machine with BSNL (DataOne) to access Internet.
I am trying to set up a LAN in my home so that I can access Internet
from my Laptop which runs on Ubuntu 8.10.

As you see, my CentOS machine has got two network cards: eth1 is
connected to LAN and eth0 is connected to Internet. I use PPPoE to up
the Internet. Below is the ifconfig output of the CentOS machine:

>From the various resources available in the Internet, I tried to
enable masquerading:
[r...@serein ~]# /sbin/iptables -A FORWARD -i eth1 -o eth0 -m state
--state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
[r...@serein ~]# /sbin/iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth1 -j ACCEPT
[r...@serein ~]# /sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE
[r...@serein ~]# service iptables save
[r...@serein ~]# service iptables restart

But even then, I am not able to ping any outside ip from my laptop. I
can connect to my desktop but not beyond it :( Am I missing something?
FYI, I have regular Redhat Firewall enabled in my CentOS machine. Not
sure if that is creating any problem. Please help.

Thanks in advance,
