Linda,
Need to set up IP masquerade. Follow the IP masquerade HOW TO. Basically it
is adding the following lines for your in your /etc/rc.d/rc.local file:
/sbin/ipchains -P forward DENY
/sbin/ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.100.0/24 -j MASQ
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
The above example assumes network using 192.168.100.x of course, replace
your network IP here. I just use Kppp to dialup. Make sure you add the DNS
for your ISP in the Kppp setup for new account plus these same DNS numbers
in your windoze machines. Since your have a home network I assume you have
everything else setup such as /etc/hosts, /etc/HOSTNAME, etc. This of course
does not shield your Linux dialup server from hacks as you could or should
at some point setup IP chain rules to accomplish this. But the above should
get your started and allow packet forwarding to your windoze machines.
