SIMPLE linux internet sharing

[tha_0ne]

Finally...I managed to fix both my NICs in linux, so I can ping both sites on the internet and 192.168.1.*. :)
Now...to the point. How do I share this connection? For now I'm happy as long I can browse on my "regular" computer! When that's done, I'll be fixing security and stuff..
Isn't there just one/two command(s) for sharing it?
Anyway, please help!
I'm running Linux 2.4.2-2...

Apparently, searching and discovery are things of the past. :rolleyes:

I've already read that...Do I NEED a firewall? I don't know how to transfer the files from my windows comp...and I can't run X on the linux comp.

No you don't need a firewall, they're just a good idea.

If you want to access a linux share on you windows pc, you need to setup samba.

:)

[tha_0ne]

Ah yes, samba! Thanks for the tip. :)
Well, I only need to access my windows comp with the linux one, so I don't need it there...but anyway, I might need the other way later. :)
I'm trying to fix gShield and iptables now..Let's see soon, gotta make homework and **** now. :(

[tha_0ne]

Hmm, it looks like I won't fix this (gShield)... :(
WTF, there must be SOME easy way..just telling linux to route packets from 192.168.1.* (eth1) to eth0, if they want to an external IP-address??

What distro and version? Most of the newer ones have gui tools for setting up everything that's necessary for networking.

If you use Mandrake, then have a look at their online documentation. Other distros should have the same.

Red Hat 7.1, though I didn't install KDE, GNOME or something like that..it's only a pentium 100, and only a server!
