So, your linux box dials your pppoe to your DSL provider. You want your windows box to to use the Internet through the Linux box. Right?
Here is what you need to do concept wise. 1- Your linux box must do NAT for your network. (through IPTABLES rules) 2- Your Win box must be configured to use Linux box IP as the default gateway. TCPIP config searching for "Linux NAT setup windows" will lead you to so many pages discussing the setup you want to have. http://www.aboutdebian.com/proxy.htm is a good start.. What you are trying to do will be accomplished with 3-4 commands. You just need to understand the concept behind it. on linux issue following commands: modprobe iptable_nat iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward on windows: - an IP from the same subnet as linux box - tcpip conf: DNS ips .+ linux IP as gateway. done. Please let us know how things turn out with you.
