thx mathieu, but, do it tables have to be stopped? because you don't start them again and it doesn't work for me right now

Yes, iptables must be started.
Type: service iptables start

I can't believe I forgot about that.

ok, though of that well, it doesn't work if i start them too, hhm, on the win computer i only have to set the ip adress of my computer as default gateway right?

On the windows PC, the default gateway is the IP of your Linux PC.
You also need to give the windows PC a unique IP address (for example: 192.168.1.2)
And you need to add the IP addresses of your ISP's DNS servers in the DNS tab.

my ISP's DNS servers? well, whats that? i don't have much knowlegde of networking, sry

You can find them by using the Network Configuration GUI.
In the menu, click System Settings and click on Network. The IP addresses are located under the DNS tab.

Or you can look in the /etc/resolv.conf file.


DNS servers are used to resolve domain names to ip addresses.

aaah thx
so i put the dns adresses on the win computer to, my ip adress as gateway and it should work? well, i'll try it

ok now i did all this things, but i couldn't find out if its working 'cause if i did all and restarted the computer i couldn't connect to the internet anymore (i have isdn, connecting through ippp0 to the internet), any idea?

ISDN...
There is alot of ISDN in Europe.

Ok.
When you followed the steps in Post 3,
did you change eth0 to ippp0 and eth1 to eth0.

Can you post the contents of /etc/sysconfig/iptables
And the output of the following command: route -n


----
Edit

Can the two PCs ping each other ?
Use the ping command on Linux and on Win2k

well, i had to turn forwarding off and deleted the iptables, but i will do it again now:
my iptables:
# Generated by iptables-save v1.2.7a on Mon Aug 18 23:43:33 2003

my rout -n output:

and no, i can't reach them with ping, not from linux zu win2k and the other way, thx for your help

and yes i changed eth0 with ippp0 and eth1 with eth0
