hi.

I have a LAN with 1 Linux Server (Fedora 3) and 5 stations (Linux or Windows). My Server computer has 2 NIC. One of them (eth0) conects to internet with a Valid IP.Another conects to a switch that other stations conect to it.

I configure the network and make a workgroup . Each station see other stations and Server and can share files (with Samba) and share printer and ... .

My problem is that the stations can not conect to internet by Server.
How can I do it?
I search but can not find any application example about this subject yet.

Thank you
ALi

Hi Ali you would want to search on NAT, ip forwarding and iptables or if you want a quick way to set it all up then try what I use Arno's Iptables.

I'm a newbie here. Also add my questions here to Ali's questions.

As my experience in M$ Windows, if the server would like to share the internet connection to the rest client PC(like how Ali do), then the server itself would have to "SHARED" its Internet Connection to the rest via a "Internet Sharing Configuration". So, is that means Ali have to do something in order to share the INTERNET CONNECTION to the rest CLIENTS? Any setting he need to do?

I could not solve my problem yet.
Please introduce me a applicatione example.
Thanks
Ali

Firstly you need to install ip-masquerading and make sure that iptables is running. You can find a basic howto here . You will need to forward requests from the host which is also covered in the link. Once this is all configured then you need to configure all the boxes behind this one to set their gateway as the eth1 ip address.
