I have a box with 2 NICs.
Lets say:
NIC #1 is 192.168.240.10
NIC #2 is 192.168.240.20
NIC #1 is connected to my ISP so it gets it's IP from a DCHP server. NIC #2 IP was pluged in manualy.

I have a cross over cable going from NIC #2 to another box with IP 192.168.240.30

What I'm trying to do is share my internet connection between to two boxes without a hub.
So I guess what I'm saying is that I want the outside world to see one IP but in reality I have 3.

Sorry if this gets confusing.
IP 192.168.240.30 can ping 192.168.240.20 and vis versa.
192.168.240.30 can't ping 192.168.240.10

I imagine I have to plug in a route.
Which box would I have to add the route too?
I want to route 192.168.240.30 to 192.168.240.10
And how would you type in your command?
 
Well buddy, here goes nothing.

The only way to do this is to setup internet connection sharing on the PC that is connected to your ISP. You cant just set up a route and do all that.

The first OS to be able to do internet connection sharing is win98 SE. Anything before that and you are out of luck.

If you need help setting up internet connection sharing, just let me know. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
