Hi All,

I have a RH9 box with 2 NIC's. One is my outside (eth0) 217.x.x.x and
the other is the inside (eth1)192.168.0.253.

The inside is wired to a switch and the outside goes to a BT router
with static ip. The switch on the inside will have 1 pc connected with
the ip 192.168.0.90 and the gateway set as 192.168.0.253.

On the linux box I can access the internet through eh0 without any
problem. I can ping the laptop on 192.168.0.90 no problem. The laptop
can ping 217.x.x.x and 192.168.0.253 no problem.

I have set ip_forward to 1

What else do I need to do to get 192.168.0.90 on the internet thorough
the redhat box ?

Thanks for the help.

You need the NAT.

Have a look at Rusty's Remarkably Unreliable Guides at
<http://people.netfilter.org/rusty/unreliable-guides/>.

The 2.4 guide works pretty well with 2.6, too.
