[Wylug-help] Linux As A Server For Windows XP Machine

[don]

Hi

I've got a similar setup. These are the lines from my rc.local that set
up masquerading. You could just type it in to try it.


echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
modprobe iptable_nat
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE


eth1 is the network card connected to the internet.

I'm running RedHat 8.0.
