Hi all,
Just came back from Africa and was very surprised not to be able to connect to internet. I was running an old box with win + sygate for internet sharing in my home network. Well, the ISP decided to change the connection to EnterNet 300 MTS PPPoE ( something like that ). I managed to connect to
My questions are now : assuming DSL connection + client config is no problem 1. How do I setup the server :
Install SuSE and one of the pppoe clients it ships with. Roaring penguin is likely the easiest. Very easy. <p><p>>
2. Are there some more things to do here ( IP settings )? - host table ? route table ? resolving ?
I think roaring penguin setups most things.
3. masquerading : will the following work ? ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.0.0/16 -b -j MASQ
Isn't there a yast setting for masquerade? It's been so long I've forgotten-)
4. Do I need a firewall ? or is ipchains ok ? If yes which firewall ( easy to setup )
Roaring penguin may actually ship with a simple script. Read the docs.
5. Do I need a proxy ???
I don't know. Nick
