I setup connection sharing in the mdk control centre. However my ppp conection (via kppp) now does not work. I can connect but all programs give either "Connection refused" or DNS errors. /etc/resolve.conf has the correct IP addresses in it. And so does my laptop which I also tested with. I set kppp options to use ppp as default route too.
The mdk control centre wizzard seemed to set it all up ok, I found it had changed my IP, with the new IP or after I changed it back to the origional it was not working from other of my 2 computers.
mdk seems to use shorewall for this sharing, i've checked /etc/shorewall/ but nothing seems obviously incorrect.
Any ideas anyone? I expect it is working ok for other ppl, so must be something simple
