Hi all, Well back from the dead once again after another fresh install following a lost battle trying to get a firewall installed and working, damn that shorewall!
Machine is running mdk 9.0. So here is my question... How do I manually configure my main machine to share it's modem connection to the other 5 machines on my LAN? This is my /etc/sysconfig/network file: NETWORKING=yes FORWARD_IPV4=true HOSTNAME=linux1.local.net DOMAINNAME=local.net GATEWAY=192.168.0.1 GATEWAYDEV=ppp0 The other machines are all using the 192.168.0.xxx range and all point to 192.168.0.1 as the gateway they should be using. I do NOT want to use the control centre because it demands installing shorewall, which has been the biggest problem of all here causing no end of trouble with blocked ports, breaking samba and ftp. I simple hate it and the documentation isn't simple enough for me to understand how to write iptables rules yet to achieve a fully secure machine. Hope some of you will take the time to offer some advice on this. regards magnet
