Mark & Ryan, thanks for your help! I don't have internet access via the LAN, but eth0 was set to use DHCP and was using the gateway that the DHCP server specified. Now I've set my machines to use static IP address.
192.168.0.100 is the soon-to-be router that will dial-up 192.168.0.101 is my desktop machine that needs to share .100's dial-up connection ------- Now that I've switched to static IPs, this is before I dial up: linux-router:/home/cmclaugh# route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 This is after I dial-up: linux-router:/home/cmclaugh# route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 169.237.16.225 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 169.237.16.225 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0 ------- Now that I've switched to static IPs, the modem and eth0 are playing nice together (I can ping google, etc). Next what I'd like to do is share .100's ppp connection. I tried this: linux-router:/home/cmclaugh# modprobe iptable_nat linux-router:/home/cmclaugh# iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE linux-router:/home/cmclaugh# echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward Then I went to my desktop machine, .101, and set it to use .100 as the gateway. I didn't have any luck with this.. can't ping google, etc. Any suggestions on how to share the ppp connection? Thanks!!!!!
