Hi

I'm new to Linux and I'm willing to learn :))
I want to use my old PC, an Penrium 233MHz MMX with 32Mb SDRam and 1,5 Gb HDD as a proxy.
Can DSL do that ?! All I want him to do is to share the P2's internet connection (from a external modem cable) to the rest of the network: 3-4 PCs running WinXP.

Can anyone help me ?! Pleaseeeeee

Whats way are there going to be connected by? Wireless, or wired. Either way all you have to do is set the old PC to use DHCP and then have the other computers use the the old pcs ip address as there gateway address.

sorry because of my english
you can use dsl as a gateway
first
you have two eth in your old pc (compatibles, rtl8139 works for me)
eth0 config your internet
eth1 config intranet normal (ip 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0)

config ip forwarding:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

install iptables.dsl

create script

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/24 -j MASQUERADE
iptables -A FORWARD -s 192.168.0.0/24 -j ACCEPT

or

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE
iptables -A FORWARD -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

iptables is powerful tool
you can use as firewall
