you already told me:
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -s 192.168.0.1/32 -j MASQUERADE
& it works! :-)
Thanks & have a nice day
Cheers

Bingo!
Great help Daniel - thanks a lot.
Suse laptop accessed Net fine, so I rebooted it to XP for some maintenance duty.
A bit of fiddling later, & that's online too, but:
1. RH box cannot ping XP (likely an XP firewall/AV setting to be found later) tho XPcan ping RH ok.
2. & this is the big worry:
# iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o EXTIF -s 192.168.0.1/32 -j MASQUERADE can be enabled, but does not actually work, whereas
# iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE ***is the entry effecting the forwarding share***
NB this is an insecure method & is warned against!
What should I be modifying the first entry to, to make the network secure please?
