Clone5k Posted October 7, 2002 Share Posted October 7, 2002 I don't feel like getting into anything complicated right now, so I'll just post the commands I use to enable simple connection sharing. You may have to edit the commands slightly to fit your setup. Just change "eth0" to eth1 or eth2..3..4 etc.. <pre> /sbin/iptables -F; /sbin/iptables -t nat -F; /sbin/iptables -t mangle -F /sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -i eth0 -j ACCEPT </pre> Just type or copy/paste them into a terminal/konsole. It should work with the default mandrake 9.0 installation. To enable connection sharing everytime you boot, you can edit /etc/rc.d/rc.local and copy/paste those commands at the end of the file.

Vlad Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 *dreams of a day when people will stop calling network address translation (NAT) "ICS"* Look for iptables tutorials. No one linux user calls it ICS, that's a term reserved for ignorant windows users who have no clue what they're doing. There are TONS of websites dedicated to helping people with iptables, and a number of GUI frontends and shell scripts to do it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clone5k Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 Either way your still sharing an internet connection. Hence "Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)". :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Spaceman Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 Mandrake 8.0 and above used to have a nifty little wizard to enable and setup NAT for you, what happened? I have yet to use 9 so I dunno. Weird...:alien: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
