Networking :: how do i share the internet from dsl ?

And ip masquerading (=NATting) is needed to make it look to the internet that all packets are coming from the gateway comp, if it isn't on, they look like they came from 192.168.whatever and as that's a private address, they cannot connect you back...

ok thanks again for the help, it is finaly working,... it took some time and it made me allmost cry but the the problem was in the (by me ) wrong choosen numbers...... for the ones having the same problems here is my working configuration

on the wireless card (ath0) ip 192.168.2.3 broadcast 192.168.2.255 netmask 255.255.255.0

on the network card (eth0) 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.255 255.255.255.0

the remote machines 192.168.0.2 (and further 0.3, 0.4 ) 192.168.0.255 255.255.255.0 and the gateway and nameserver on 192.168.0.1
