Re: Network and Internet sharing

[Brian Chase <networkr0@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Sounds like you're a Linux newbie, so I'll offer my two cents on your 
quickest way to accomplish this.  I'm assuming you want to have use of 
the machine with the two NIC's in it, so we know we're going to need a 
full Linux distribution, not a specialized firewall distro like IPCop or 
SmoothWall.

In your case, I recommend a fresh load of Mandrake 9.2.  It will take 
some reading, but it's got the most wizards to get you set up for 
connection sharing, or running a DHCP server with firewall and NAT.  I 
did this from a fresh load at install, answered the questions in the 
install procedure correctly, and everything worked upon install with no 
tweaking afterwards, so let us know how you make out.
