Hi guys, I'm new to linux as well. Wondering if it's possible to share the DSL internet connection with another networked box. I've tried to work it out with How-tos etc and IPMASQ looks promising, however, DSL package list doesn't look like it has it and the How-tos used scripts for RedHat. Does DSL have an equivalent to IPMASQ? or??? thanks in advance... Kama Posted by Kama on May 28 2004,13:40
I tried this using DSL version 0.7:Box connected to internet via 56K modem (successfully). I set up apt then followed this advice from < http://forums.debianplaza.net/viewtop....b7fe7e, > I just followed it parrot fashion, some of it made sense. # apt-get install iptables # modprobe ip_tables # modprobe iptable_filter # modprobe ip_conntrack # modprobe iptable_nat # modprobe ipt_MASQUERADE # iptables -F # iptables -X # iptables -Z # iptables -t nat -F # iptables -t nat -X # iptables -t nat -Z # iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT # iptables -P FORWARD DROP # iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT # iptables -t nat -P PREROUTING ACCEPT # iptables -t nat -P POSTROUTING ACCEPT # iptables -t nat -P OUTPUT ACCEPT # echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward Then this from: < http://groups.google.com/groups?....&rnum=1 > # iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o ppp0 -j ACCEPT # iptables -A FORWARD -s 192.168.0.0/24 -j ACCEPT # iptables -A FORWARD -d 192.168.0.0/24 -j ACCEPT # iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -p tcp -i ppp0 -j DNAT --to 192.168.0.1 I got both boxes talking to each other, but box2 still couldn't get connected to the net... Would someone please tell me where I've gone wrong??? thankyou... |
