IP masquerading (predent in the kernel, all you need is set up firewall rules, aka ip-chains by the ipchains tool, see IPCHAINS-HOWTO) > I get confused as to the ip address needed on each machine and the loopback > address ( is it 127.0.0.0 ??? ) Usualy 192.168.x.x used for this. You need to create your home intranet with, suppose, network 192.168.0.0 and 2 host, for example RH with IP 192.168.0.1 and Win with IP 192.168.0.2. There is a lot of other variant for dynamic IP distribution and dynamic routing, so you should begin with NET-3-HOWTO (NET-3-4-HOWTO also in RH6.1), also usefull is NAG, Network Administrators' Guide and SAG - System Admin. Guide. If something will stay unclear for you, don't hesitate to ask in this list. Sergey. -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
