Sharing a modem connection. :(

I built a computer for my mom and was hoping to have DSL when she learned enough to surf the net. Well, the phone guy has not showed up yet and she wants to surf.

I have two machines, one is smoker and it has the modem, the other is pokey and it is connected by ethernet. I can do the ping stuff. No problems there but no internet stuff at all that I can find.

Info about smoker first:

Well, any ideas??

BUMP, mostly.

I found some stuff about bridging but I can't find anything on how to "bridge" the thing.

Little help here please.

look in the /etc/resolv.conf on pokey

They were there. I tried that before I started the thread.

If it helps, when I try to ping say google.com, it just sits there for a while then gives me this:

i think it's a routing problem...or an ipforwarding problem....check your route once more....

p.s: in fact, for the death of Arafat, if they don't know where to dig his grave (i dunno if you'll understand...) they consider he's alive...even if he's dead....so i think that he's dead bout 5 days...

[quote="dalek"]This is route from pokey:

pokey linux # route

try that

Looks like the problem is with smoker. When I do that ping I can see the ping go over the ethernet. I used ethreal to capture the thing. It appears that smoker is not passing the traffic on to the ppp thing.

Well I was looking at this how to:

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Iptables_for_newbies

It has that in it but never said where I was supposed to put it. I had to reboot smoker. :cry:

My CPU sensors stop working after a couple days of uptime. I put them as modules this time so I can unload and reload them.

Still no ping though. Going to try that script now. Back later.

It works now. I can actually get to the net with Mozilla on pokey.

Wooooooo Ooooooooooo

Now I have to teach my mom how to surf the web. I think she's got the mouse figured out though. Move mouse forward and the pointer goes up the screen. That took her a bit though. :lol:

Not talking about the clicking thing though. :oops:

Thanks for the help.

Oh, I couldn't get that script to run so I just copy and pasted the commands in and then saved them with /etc/init.d/iptables save. That seemed to work.

Thanks again.
