hey, i'm really new to this, so i have no idea how to start.
i'm running a 200mhz pentium machine with two ethernet cards. what i really want to do is run the cable modem through the first card and then out the other card to a hub. does that make any sense? i have at least 6 other machines i want to ipmasq into it. correct me if i'm wrong, can't i run the connection through the box and just use it as a gateway for the rest of them? any replies would be SO appreciated.

ok, i guess i didn't really explain. i can't even seem to get online right now-am i forgetting something? how do i configure ppp? like i said, newbie newbie newbie. i'm fairly experienced with mac, and slightly with windows. i think i will d/l that distro mentioned for using the machine as a router, but i still can't connect. mind you that i did have a g4 running yellow dog that we had connected before. so let's start with the connection. i can't risk the cable connection for everyone. (i have a husband who has hysterics if he can't connect to mplayer-which reminds me, how do i set it up so he can connect properly through the firewall?) thanks ren -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
