Instructions to unsubscribe from this list at the end of the message - --------------------------------------------------------------------- Several things are happening at the same time here.
First of all, you don't seem to have any internet connection. when you run /etc/rc.d/init.d/internet start see if pppd starts, and what messages do you see in /var/log/messages ? When you have the internet connection working, configure the second NIC, connected to your son's PC with an address like 10.1.1.1/255.255.255.0, and your son's machine with 10.1.1.2/255.255.255.0, and set the default gateway of your son's machine to 10.1.1.1 That doesn't give you any shared connection yet, but now you should be able to ping from one machine to the other. After that you should configre 'ipmasquerading' on your linux box. make the following script: /etc/rc.d/init.d/ipmasq: begin script: # # # chkconfig: - 2345 33 33 # description: ipmasquerading # # echo "1" >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE end script. and then type 'chkconfig ipmasq on' After that your son's computer and yours should be able to access the internet simultaniously. (that is, if you first found what pppd did wrong). cheers, Jeroen.
