linux routers

posted this in tech help. Maybe someone here can help me.

ok all I need some help setting up a linux router. Have tried freesco but I guess that I am to stupid to figure it out. Anyone care to talk on icq or email me the basic settings for setting one up for @home?

Thx

Btw this isn't my first post, had to format and forgot to back up my passwords

Thx

Have you looked on www.linuxdoc.org?? There are a lot of docs, but here are the links to a couple of very promising ones:

Linux IP Masquerade HOWTO: Introduction
Red Hat Linux 6.X as an Internet Gateway for a Home Network: Configuring Masquerading
Firewall and Proxy Server HOWTO: IP filtering setup (IPCHAINS)
IP Routing

All I did was go to www.linuxdoc.org and do a search for ip-masq.

Anyway, not sure if that's what you were looking for, but good luck with it.

This will hopefully be a document in the future. Damaged has offered his help as well in formatting this. Give it a look see.

I find pmfirewall easy to set up. You can get it at www.pointman.org

for ip masqing, i run 2.4 kernel with iptables.

for BASIC masq all u need is oneline script or command:
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

assuming eth0 is your external interface and any other interfaces are internal. this works for my two nic gateway box, this works for sharing my cable modem to my internal network.

give freesco another shot, it works great for me (sharing unfortunately a 28.8 connection only at this time ). Take a look thru their forums if you have a problem. got it sharing inertnet as well as printer.

I tried to setup FreeSCO as my linux router before too, but the main problem was there was no linux drivers for the cheap NIC @Home gave me...

I ended up using Coyote Linux instead, and it worked great ever since! Maybe you can give that a try...
