Using Destop (suse 11) As NAT

dasy2k1 · 10-12-2008, 09:28 PM

i have a desktop running suse 11.0
ive just bought an ultra portable netbook,

im at uni where we are only allowed one connection to the network in our rooms, but using you desktop as a NAT router to another device is allowed

my desktop has its incoming conection on eth1 and i want to use eth0 to connect to my new netbook with a Xover lead.

been digging around in YAST for a while but i cant seem to find out how i do this

any ideas?

I assume that you want the masquerading settings from what I can see in YaST. I use iptables directly for mine though.
