I'm experimenting with connecting my Palm organizer via my Linux PC (mandrake 8.2) to the rest of my local net and the internet.

Palm --ppp-- LinuxPC --lan-- Alcatel speedtouch 510 ---adsl-- The internet

I also have another linux PC & an imac hanging off the 510 all on the 10.0.0.0 lan, the ppp connection uses 192.168.1.1/2

I get the ppp connection up fine, and can access apache on my PC.

If I use guidedog to enable ipforwarding then from the palm I can reach hosts on the internet but not on the local 10.0.0.0 network.

I have been reading thro iptables docs but finding it hard going

I still a at this.
