Dear everyone! i have been using adsl connection to share internet for whole network using gateway of 192.168.0.101 (for test purpose) with dns address 202.70.64.5 i tried internet browsing with a linux terminas(centOS) with ip 192.168.0.105 I want to use the linux as an internet gateway. so i tried using 2 ethernet cards so i configured them as eth0: ip address: 192.168.0.105 eth1: ip address: 192.168.28.1 dns address: 202.70.64.5 i wanted to test if i could share the internet from another subnetwork with ip 192.168.28.2 via with gateway configured as 192.168.28.1 now i can ping from the remote computer to both 192.168.0.105 and 192.168.28.1 but internet sharing is not happening i tried all the steps mentioned by http://www.howtoforge.com/nat_iptables i wanted to make sure internet sharing happens.. so that i can completely shift to linux for internet sharing.. thanks in advance..
This address should be configured on one of your ethernet cards then .... Did you get this address from your ISP?
yeah that dns address was supplied by the isp provider moreover, i believe there are something to do with the iptables and nat could you please guide me the way? thanks again
If you want to use your system as a router, you should try a distribution that is tailored for your needs such as IPCop.
hey it worked.. ! there was some conflicting regarding /etc/hosts file. still more experimenting to do.. messenger etc are working now i want to learn more..
now i am trying to install squid for proxy.. i downloaded and compiled.. i tried to follow http://www.visolve.com/squid/sqguide.php but its kinda confusing for a starter like me.. i believe there are easier ways.. i would appreciate if you share your experience thanks in advance..
