[PLUG] Internet sharing Mandrake 10.0 to 98SE

[Ben Jensz]

Basically iptables needs to be doing NAT and you need to have ip 
forwarding enabled (so data can be forwarded between interfaces).

iptables:

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

Change eth0 to whatever interface your ISDN interface is called.  And 
the ip forwarding:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

Sorry if you didn't want to get your hands dirty with the command 
line... but I'm not familiar with any of the GUI stuff much in Linux.
