Hi,
I have a rather pressing [1] need to share an internet connection
amongst a bunch of computers.
The WAN connection is dial up via the modem and the LAN connection
is ethernet and the OS on the gateway computer is Panther (10.3.9).
If I configure the ethernet connection with a private IP address
like 192.16.2.1 I can get the internet sharing to work slick as can
be.
Unfortunately, the machines on the LAN all have public routable
addresses so I need to configure the ethernet connection on the
gateway computer with a public routable address and when I do that,
it stops sharing the connection with the LAN computers.
I can connect to the gateway computer via either the LAN or WAN
address from the LAN but I can not get out on the internet from the
LAN, or onto the LAN from out on the internet.
Does anyone know how to make this work and if so, wanna share?
Sounds like you're missing a few routing table entries.
Take a look at the docs and list archives at http://www.sustworks.com/
