well, you have done pretty well. If I were in your boat, I'd get on google and search for gShield
download it untar it and put the files in a directory called 'firewall' in /etc go in there, open the .conf file and say 'YES' to all the relevant questions (like NAT (ICS)) save the file.. and run it.. bingo.. ICS up and running... so tell me, why do you need Bind? rgds Franki -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of manolis Sent: Friday, 13 June 2003 5:46 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] DNS with bind. Hi! I fought the last week with linux options to setup my network with samba. Now it is working fine. I managed to connect my linuxpc, my winXP & and two vmware machines fine!!!! the network is setuped with dhcp. the linux pc has an internet connection that I want to share. It was working fine (the ICS) one week ago, but with my efforts to setup the local connectivity, the other systems cannot use the internet anymore. facts: -I know that I must setup bind correctly. -I don't know how. -I don't want to use Mandrake Control Center (it meshed up all the conf files when I used it the last days). -I don't want to use proxy server -I don't want to drop dhcp and return to static IPs. -In general : I don't want a non working windows network again. - I am pretty newbie in linux. Any help? Or step by step method? Or idiots guide? thanks in advance manolis
