I am newbie to slackware.
I just install Slackware 9.0 to my PC which has 2 Realtek 8139C LAN card. However, netconfig only prompt me for configuration of one LAN card.
How can I config the other LAN card?
I want to use the PC as a router by using iptables.
Thanks for any help.
You may set up both cards by editing /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1. Also, make sure that IPV4_FORWARD is set to 1 in rc.inet2 (it is by default, so if you haven't been poking around already you probably don't have to edit it ). The tutorials linked to from netfilter.org should make masquerading a breeze. Good luck.
(I might as well mention that I ran a similar setup more than a year ago, but I don't anymore...so if my information is not up to date or something, that's why. )
