hello,

I'm quite new to Linux and i am trying to share my internet connection with my laptop.

I have a linux box with 2 networkcards running Redhat 9. The adsl connection works fine on eth0.
I got dhcp working on eth1 and i can browse files from my laptop on the actual linuxbox. Samba works allright too. I downloaded a rc.firewall for 2.4.20 kernel and made it run when i boot the system.

Still i can't access the internet with my laptop. Did i forget anything? I guess i am close to having it work, but i just can't figure out the final bit.

Any help would be appreciated.

tnx,
cfvogue
