The problem is this - the laptop is unable to route through the FC4 desktop.
eth0 is the connection with the router
eth1 is connected to the laptop
Specifying an IP on the laptop [WinXP] (Instead of having it assigned)with the same netmask establishes a connection but nothing more
ifcfg-eth1 looks like this:
DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=none
NETMASK=255.0.0.0
USERCTL=yes
PEERDNS=no
GATEWAY=eth0
HWADDR=00:02:44:82
2:50
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
IPADDR=10.0.0.154
Commands
service network restart
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
service iptables save
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
sysctl -p
All executed fine
'net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1' is set in /etc/sysctl.conf
----
ifcfg-eth0:
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
HWADDR=00:30:BD:27
A:5D
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
Running ifconfig produces this:

To setup my FC4 installation to share its internet with my laptop I have used the following guide -
