Hi All, I have spent the last few days trying to set up an IP masquerading situation on my home LAN (which only consists of my FC4 notebook and my windows XP desktop). I have gone through all the sites and read all about IP tables, but alas I still can't get it setup. The IPs' of my two machines are: Notebook (aka: masquerading box) : 192.168.0.1 Desktop : 192.168.0.2 My firewall has been turned off within: "Desktop --> System Settings --> Security Level". I connect to the Internet via a ppp (dial-up) connection and as a result my external or ISP granted IP varies every time. Can anyone offer some support / help / advice for this? Thanks heaps. Cheers, Tony Crouch
