ppp in ----> SLIP & ethernet out
 

ok, i'm sure this has been covered somewhere, but digging it up has left me virtually panting
the problem is i have a dialup internet connection and i want to share it with my ehternet port (connected to one other machine wiht a crosover) and another computer without a proper NIC via slip, how can i do this, and/or where can i find doccumentation on how to do this, and i need the information to be a little more geared for the networking novice if possible as that is what i am, a bit of a novice :)

You want to have a read of the IP Masquerading HOWTO on http://www.tldp.org it'll take you through it.

cheers
