How do I set up iptables on LM8.0? I want to allow my main box to share an internet connection with a second machine. I thought ipmasquerading was the way to go. I was following these instructions: modprobe ip_tables iptables -F iptables -t nat -F iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.1.11 -j MASQUERADE echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward These went well. No errors. But once this was done, when I opened up an xterm window, the window froze. No command prompt--just a white box in the upper left corner. Couldn't shut down properly either. Even tried to use ctrl + alt + F1 to get to a useable command line, but I couldn't log in. Any suggestions? -Rich- _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
