OK...
My system is similar to yours so what I did should work for you too.
Setting up Masquerading on your machine:
1: In /etc/sysconfig/network
I changed the value of
FORWARD_IPV4="false" to
FOWARD_IPV4="yes"
as this is set to false by default.
2: In /etc/rc.d/rc.local I put:
# fix network unreachable madness
/sbin/route add -host 255.255.255.255 dev eth0
# setting up IP masquerading for local network for 2.2.x and above (ipchains)
/sbin/ipchains -P forward DENY
/sbin/ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d 0.0.0.0/0
# NOTE THE IP - CHANGE TO WHAT EVER IS APPROPRIATE FOR YOUR SETUP
# setting up IP masquerading for local network for 2.0.x (ipfwadm)
# /sbin/ipfwadm -F -p deny
# /sbin/ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.1.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0
# NOTE THE IP - CHANGE TO WHAT EVER IS APPROPRIATE FOR YOUR SETUP
# enable IP masquerading specifically for everything available
# /sbin/modprobe ip_gre.o
# /sbin/modprobe ip_autofw.o
# /sbin/modprobe ip_masq_mfw.o
# /sbin/modprobe ip_masq_portfw.o
# /sbin/modprobe ipip.o
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_cuseeme.o
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_ftp.o
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_irc.o
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_quake.o
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_raudio.o
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_user.o
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_vdolive.o
Take a look in /lib/modules/your_kernel_version/ipv4/
and point to everything there. What is actually there will depend
on how your kernel is setup. The ones that are commented above go
away if you compile the masquerading stuff into the kernel.
I am 99% sure thats all I did. Tho I did recompile the kernel
to suit me better so if this dosent work, let me know and
I'll look up the relevant stuff for the kernel.
Setting up the windows machines:
1: Right click on "Network Neighbourhood"
2: Choose "properties"
3: Double click TCPIP=>ethernet (or just TCPIP
if there is only one option ie no dialup adaptor)
4: Under the IP Address Tab give your machine an
appropriate IP and Netmask (eg 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0)
5: Ignore the WINS Tab
6: Under the Gateway tab put the IP of your Linux box
(eg 192.168.1.1)
7: Under the DNS Tab
Enable DNS
Enter machine name (eg: buttercup)
Enter the DNS your Linux box uses (probably that of
your ISP - in my case 61.8.0.2)
Enter the search domain your linux box uses (probably
that of your ISP - in my case zip.com.au)
8: click ok to everything
9: feed it the disks it wants
10: restart it
11: you're set!
NOTES:
Forget diald to start with
Get a link up on your linux box and make sure
the windows boxes can see the world ok.
Get this stuff working THEN start with diald
cos there will be another set of glitches to
deal with then. And I DONT understand
diald at all yet.
