OK, thx for that, but why this command "/sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -s 192.168.0.0/24 -j MASQUERADE" doesn't work? "/sbin/iptables -L -n -t nat" shows this for the POSTROUTING: Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination MASQUERADE all -- 192.168.0.0/24 0.0.0.0/0 but the Internet from my local machine (IP 192.168.0.2) doesn't work. Configuration: FC2 eth0 IP = ISP given static address FC2 eth1 IP = 192.168.0.1 and SM 255.255.255.0 Local machine has: IP 192.168.0.2 SM 255.255.255.0 Gateway 192.168.0.1 but still iptables doesn't work. What else is wrong here? thx
