Is it as simple as this to share a dial-up connection as well?
Can I do it while running 192.168.0.1 off of CD?Hi,
Am also about to attempt sharing a DSL internet connection with my home lan. Main reason is to try and put in some content filtering for the kids.
Have read a number of posts about internet sharing, 2 NICs in one PC, NAT, DHCP, etc and (I hope!) reckon I can get these bits to work.
I noticed that AwPhuch (alias Brian) notes his red, orange and green connections. I also gather that he uses smoothwall. So, if possible, could AwPhuch post some of the details of how he set it up?
Secondly, after trawling around the net, I have found a few linux content filters and it seems (to probably ignorant me) that one called 'privoxy' appears to be OK. I would greatly like to hear others opinions of this packages - or any other packages that would be better.
Lastly, have also stumbled across a EU sponsored project for content filtering, specifically images, called 'poesia', the home web page is here. Has anyone tried this filter?
Once completed, I would be more than happy to share my experience at setting up the content filtered, shared internet with the group.
Thanks,
Geoff.

Yes. The computer considers a internet connection regardless of type (dailup, dsl, cable) a internet connection. You just have to apply some common sense and think."IP: 192.168.0.4 (this can be anything theroretically except 192.168.0.10 but 192.168.0.2 will work)"
Excuse my ignorance but why can it not be 192.168.0.10?I believe if you tweak the rcfirewall.dsl you can tell it to do internet sharing with a simple firewall as well
Also I use a pre-built, ready to run firewall/gateway product called SmoothWall Express 2.0 which does about 99% of the work for you, and will run on comparable hardware (however it makes it a dedicated firewall) [oh and with a few of the MODS there, you can do dang near anything you want with it (dansguardian, guardian, dshield, full firewall control just to name a few)]
