Internet connection sharing

[klemm]

Hi

 

I tried to enable the internet connetcion sharing and used the mandrake wizard for that.

I't works fine, but I dont like that it also installed Squid and transfers the traffic through a Squid proxy.

 

My conf on the Mandrake 10Official:

ppp+ to internet

eth0 connected to the adsl modem

eth1 connected to LAN.

Shorewall firewall is also installed...

 

I have just one other computer and dont find the proxy is needed.

I tried to change some firewall settings, but I only managed to brake the conf.

 

Anybody can give some good advise howTo get the connection sharing work wthout Squid between. ?

Go to www.shorewall.net and download the 2 interfqce quickstart.

 

You do need IPTABLES and shorewall is as good a front end as any other.

Read the news for Mandrake users on their site.

 

The wizards are for people who dont want to understand whats happening and you obviously do :D so Id follow the shorewall docs and you can then use webmin to admin the firewall.

Thanks Gowator

 

The shorewall doc was really great... I still feel myselt a bit shy editingf the conf files manually and most of the confs I try to do with some gui or wizards... But I got my firewall conf rihgt and got rid of some useless services that were required by the MandrakeWiz.

urpmi webmin (or better install from source)

it has a shorewall module and it work nicely with the documentation!

 

if your just a bit shy on editing by hand then webmin should make it easy ... its not so simple as click click click but at least it works :D
