How to share internet connection between 2 PC's

Recommended Posts

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. Any help is appreciated!

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....
