quick and easy way to get internet connection sharing

Quote:

This was only tested with Slackware, but should work on almost every other distribution and even for Windows.

Assume this is your setup:
A --> B --> Internet

You want to connect A to the internet, B is already connected.

Run this Code:

if [ -f /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward ]; then echo "Activating IPv4 packet forwarding." echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward fi iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE

on B as root and this
Code:

route add default gw $(ipadresse of B)

on A.

Done. Isn't it great?

Very nice easy and shortcut

why dont you provide the example

by placing the values of A, B and ipaddress

that will be more helpfull to understand
