Using IPtables to forward an internet connection...

caps_phisto · 09-26-2004, 12:33 PM

How do I setup my wireless connection to forward out a network connection to my Ethernet port to share on my home windows network? I know it has something to do with IPTABLEs and I think it has something do do with the FOREWARD chain but I don't know how. I am using Fedora Core 2.

Thanks in advance
