Hi,

On server site you need to do the following:

1)enable ip forwarding
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

2)use iptables (firewall) for masquerading (masquerade bit)
..
..
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
..
..

On client site, set gateway to linux ip.

Perhaps starting squid and configuring your windows 98 system to use a proxy server would be the quickest option - this would only allow web access however, not email etc..

To forward all traffic, follow dbase77's instructions. Webmin ( may be a simpler configuration tool if you like GUI interfaces - it is a simple web based admin tool..

Hi,

You said you add http server on linux. I wonder if you client on the same network. Can you ping each other? Make sure both pc on the same netmask.

Hi,

On client networking setting, set gateway to point to your linux machine. Open browser on client and try connect to outside world (make sure you online first). have you set your iptables and forwarding on server site?

There is no default - you set it during the install.

Should you be configuring this on a system you dont have root access to? Cant you ask your sysadmin to assist??

Hi,

Like Criscw said, you set root password during installation. Did you set one? We will help you but you need root access for admin staff.

Don't set the default gateway to the client itself. It has to be the server.
