Hello, no your english was good enough to describe your setup. And I would say that 90% of "us" have a form of "dialup" with on routable ip address and a NAT setup. First bind is not "standard" in this kind of situation and makes things overly complicated. I would recommend dnsmasq instead. It is much more staight forward for a NAT box to setup. It will also provide you with a dhcp server. And in your situation you also want to disable/avoid the NetworkManager. It is quite easy because evry device you list in /e/n/i will be automaticaaly ignored by the NetworkManager. And clearly because you have difficulties in setting this up doesn't make all of this a bug. Also I want to mention to setup a router with Red Hat or with debian is possible but there a distributions which are much more suited for this purpose. I personally like pfsense and opnsense. Both are based on BSD but they are excellent for SOHO routing. -H -- Henning Follmann | hfollm...@itcfollmann.com
