How to share internet connection between 2 PC's
Hi. I have an Internet connection configured in Linux (Redhat 9. 0) and I would like to know how I can share that internet connection with another local computer that uses Windows XP. I have already done this for Windows XP (using bridge), but now I don't know how I do that in Linux.

What kind of connection do you have?
If you already navigating try this:
copy everything inside a file...
change the " " with your data
and run it..
Here it goes....
!#/bin/sh
LAN_IP_NET="your lan ip range (maybe 192.168.1.0/24)"
LAN_NIC="the internal network interface (eth0 or eth1)"
OUT_NIC="external network interface (eth0, eth1 or ppp0 and so on)"
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s $LAN_IP_NET -o $OUT_NIC -j MASQUERADE
iptables -A FORWARD -j ACCEPT -i $LAN_NIC -s $LAN_IP_NET
iptables -A FORWARD -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
You should be navigating on XP by now....
