Help! (linux networking)

[cristic]

I have something like this:

internet <-> linux box (suse9.2) <-> xp box

the internet works on the linux box, but how can i make it work on the xp box too ? I tried all kinds of routes but couldn't come up with a valid one (i'm a n00b at linux&networking )

so, xp box is 10.0.0.2/255.0.0.0
the linux box has two nics:
eth0: 10.0.0.3/255.0.0.0
eth1: 192.168.71.12/255.255.255.248
my internet gateway is: 192.168.71.9/255.255.255.248

Thanks in advance for any professional advice!

call 1-800-905-GEEK and you can get someone out to your house probably monday morning.


otherwise... you're going to have to use your linux box as a gateway for the windows box, you're trying to connect two different subnets and that requires a router (which the linux box can be set up to do)

The keywords you're looking for are: iptables, masquerade, nat.

Search google for example configurations (it depends on what and how you want exactly). If you need more help I can try, but it's something you should learn by yourself like everything linux.
