I've had to fiddle the IPs to try and get Internet Connection Sharing (Windows requires 192.168.0.1 be the internet machine), so I've currently got this: - main machine - ip=192.168.1.2 gateway=192.168.0.1 route add 192.168.0.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.10 - internet machine - ip=192.168.0.1 gateway=192.168.0.10 route add 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.10 - linux machine - eth0 = 192.168.0.10 eth1 = 192.168.1.10 packet filtering enabled pinging, ssh, remote desktop all work, but I can't get internet from the main machine, only the other two. Aha! I changed the default gateway of my main machine to the linux one and now I can get online with it again! Not really sure what it means to change the gateway though - why that allows it to work online when going direct to the other machine doesn't? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
