Works well, but I don't know how to turn off the volume on the modem so I have to listen to the dialing/connecting noises and then it hums rather loudly whilst connected (external modem). http://linecontrol.sourceforge.net/ Sharrea -- Help Microsoft stamp out piracy - give Linux to a friend today Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] modem sharing vs ICS
Investigate IPCop as a standalone. - It will load fine on an old 486. - It does dial on demand - the manual can be downloaded as a pdf and is pretty comprehensive. http://www.ipcop.org/cgi-bin/twiki/view/IPCop/WebHome manual http://www.ipcop.org/cgi-bin/twiki/view/IPCop/IPCopDocumentationv01 On Wed, 16 Jul 2003 19:59:34 +0530 L.V.Gandhi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have seen articles and how to for internet connection sharing.

If you already have the two machines networked together, all you have to
do is to implement a script using IPTABLES - it's really easy - you
DON'T have to have two NIC's or anything stupendous like that - and the
following is a script that I currently use for doing my sharing:
--
#!/bin/sh
# Begin of /usr/bin/start_ics
source /etc/init.d/functions
case $1 in
start)
echo Enabling masquerading...
echo 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
#evaluate_retval
echo -n Bringing up iptables...
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE
;;
stop)
echo -n Disabling masquerading...
echo 0 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
evaluate_retval
echo -n stopping iptables ...
iptables -t nat -F
evaluate_retval
;;
restart)
$0 stop
/usr/bin/sleep 1
$0 start
;;
*)
echo Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}
exit 1
;;
esac
# End of /usr/bin/start_ics

...so you can use it like start_ics start - works like a charm mate.
