    Hi,

    I just install new setup of Debian Sarge 3.1 (I was following instructions from Perfect Debian Sarge 3.1 installation). I was creating pppoe connection and now on eth0. Now I have second network card in computer (eth1)! How can i compile debian, that i can go on internet with Windows XP? On windows network I allready have everything necessary (IP,sub-net mas, Gateway, DNS)! I have systems connected trought switch.

    Here is scheme of my network at home

    You have to set up nat forwarding on debian box using iptables ... I is not so easy but you can use firehol for example .. it is great software which can help you with seting up iptables ... http://firehol.sourceforge.net/

    Yes is all about iptables .. sorry for my English ;)
    But firewall itself is not enough .. You must set up NAT forwarding ... google can help you .. I use firehol ... it is easy and quick .. so I cannot help you with command for iptables ..
    Try iptables -L -n -t nat .. this show your nat setting .. if no rules shows you have no nat forwarding :)
