Hey I'm new to linux and started with CentOS. I've been able to make my server connect to my clients but not able to share the internet connection. I've been searching around but haven't come across an answer yet. Hoping someone here will point me in the right directiong. Nice to meet you.

I have the following setup running. I'm trying to make an internet connection go through my server but haven't been able to get it to work.



Vmware Server
CentOS Server(with DHCP server running)
network card(bridged with host)1 192.168.1.23,255.255.255.0; internet connection
network card(NAT)2 10.0.0.1, 255.255.255.0, gateway: 192.168.1.23; no internet connection

Virtual Clients
Windows XP: receiving ip adress:10.0.0.x; no internet connection
Windows Vista: receiving ip adress:10.0.0.x; no internet connection

did you turn on ip forwarding?

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

it can usually be turned on permanently in the sysctl configuration file

I'll try that

I also found this, sounds like this is what you are talking about for doing it permanently.
