[vox-tech] Re: Masquerading

[Peter Jay Salzman]

martyn,

it's been a long while since i've done masquerading by hand (how
embarrasing!) but off the top of my head, do this:

on linux:

point your DNS to your ISP's DNS servers (/etc/resolv.conf)

# bring up the interfaces
ifconfig eth0 external-ip up
ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.1 up
# set up routing
route add default gateway your-ISP-gateway
# set a default policy for the forwarding chain
/sbin/ipchains -P forward DENY
# enable the masquerading
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
# do the masquerading
/sbin/ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.0.2 -j MASQ -i eth0
/sbin/ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.0.3 -j MASQ -i eth0

on windows:
point your DNS at your ISP's DNS servers
use 192.168.0.1 as your gateway.
(i don't use windows, so i don't know how you do this)

i've cc'd vox-tech just in case i screwed up.  i'm sure someone will
correct me in minutes.   :-)

btw, vox-techers, please cc this guy since he's not on the mailing list.
