Internet sharing through a Linux box

[migel628]

Hey guys, Wasn't sure where to post this so here it is...I want to use a K6-III system that I have to act as a router & I was wondering how to do this? The system has 2 Network cards in it, so that's no problem. If anyone could point me in the right direction then that'd be great.

You might try <a href="http://www.e-smith.org/" target="_blank">here</a>. I haven't used it but supposedly you just install it and it configures everything for you. It's got a file server and it's a router plus it has a few more pretty kool options. It's worth a look.

Good stuff, I'll have to check that out. However I need to do this with nothing other than base Linux. It's for my Networking Technology class. Thanks though.

Ok, linux networking easy as pie
redhat / slackware make it real easy, 2 nic cards,
set one to have a static LAN IP for you network... the other goes online,
set your gateway ip on the other machines to point to that one and bingo

If you want the router to be on a floppy, try this:

Works pretty well if you have standard nics. I used a p166 without a hard drive for it, worked well.
