please confirm NAT question.
 

My server has two nics

Eth0 = ISP connection
Eth1 = internal DHCP to home network (192.168.1.1)

Since another computer connected via dhcp got to the Internet, Then NAT must be working correctly right?

If I am flawed in this thinking, can you tell me how to make sure that NAT is working.


Thank you all tremedously, I now have the following working because of your help:

SAMBA
IPTABLES (assuming the above is correct)
ROUTING
DHCP

If there is no physical connection between the 2 ethernet cards other than the inside of the server then yes NAT is working.

hi, i would like to know how you configure dhcp and how do you do to connect to the internet with both machines??

i am trying to do the same but with linux with a dial up connection and a win XP machine connecting to internet trhu linux

Any help??

IPTABLES
 

I downloaded an IPTABLES script that was well documented, then edited the areas which allow different services. My edited firewall script is at aldebaran.tekinteractive.net/~acarnahan/www/files/my_firewall.sh

You'll have to change the ETH0 and Eth1 to your modem and network card, but like I said it is well documented.

Hope it helps
