This question may seem stupid/newbish but I'm going to ask it anyways. I have dial-up. I'm looking for a linux to run on my old dell. I want to share my dial-up with several computers in my home. The questions are; can I share a dial-up connection on Damn Small Linux? Is it hard to setup(cause I'm a newb, when it comes to linux)? and where can I find a supported hardware list for DSL?

iptables is a packet filter/router which can be set up as an Internet firewall/connection sharing utility. It can be downloaded from the DSL repository. A Google search for iptables modem sharing (or something to that effect) would give you the configuration details.

You might be able to do it. See my comment at < NETZERO > it in this Networking category with a NETZERO heading.

hope it helps

Good Luck
