Ok...there's been a few questions from people as to how "Internet Connection Sharing", or ICS in Windows, can be setup and utilized on a single modem, with a single ethernet card on a small network (or a home network - whatever)...well, for those that need it up and running FAST without heaps of BS and hassle, here's the skinny using IPCHAINS. Mind you that YOU are responsible for setting up the other firewall rules as each of us does our own thing...ok?
Locate your ipchains script, and at the bottom of the script, add the following (and make sure to sub YOUR internet IP network where mine is - I'm using the basic 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0, but some of y'all are doing different things) /sbin/ipchains -P forward DENY /sbin/ipchains -A forward -i ppp0 -s 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 -j MASQ On your client machines, I'm assuming you're using static IP's, so make sure you add your 192.168.0.1 as the gateway, and as one of the DNS servers - the other DNS server should be the one for your ISP (main one, or you can choose from the thousands of other DNS servers out in the world if you want to be difficult) Bloody easy - and if you're in a tight spot as I've been before, and the "other" users on your home network are freaking out cuz you're mucking around in linux and they're sitting there patiently waiting for ICQ or Yahoo! Messenger to work again, at least this offers a quick fix.
