To allow sharing of your internet conenction you can eitehr use a proxy server or IP Masquerading. I'll cover IP Masquerding as it's simple to set up on the other client machines. I use a 2.4.x generation kernel and in effect I use IPTables. If you use a 2.2.x or 2.0.x kernel then you need the IP Masquerading HOWTO.
This part of the HOWTO assumes that your Netfilter software is modularised, if it isnt then no big deal, either ignore the .:: www.redsea.gov.eg ::. .:: zenwriting.net ::. modprobe lines or recompile your kernel.
Simple now, just run the commands:
modprobe iptable_nat
iptables -t nat -F POSTROUTING
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -s 10.0.0.0/16 -j MASQUERADE
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
Note: The space between 1 and > is vital. It seems not to activate the IP Forwarding if the space is not there. [Code: Social engineering]
Change the ppp0 and/or the 10.0.0.0/16 for your relevant network settings and put that file either before the .:: gesoten.com ::. .:: bioimagingcore.be ::. [Data structure Study] case "$1" in in the internet file or somewhere in your startup.
