routing ADSL from one computer to another

BennyP

Hiya!
I'd like to route my ADSL connectin from my computer to my sister's
I have an ADSL modem plugged into A D-Link ethernet card in my computer and a Tulip card that I'm going to connect to my sister's with crossover cable.
My sister uses Win2k now, so the first step will be to get a working conection between the two and get samba up and running.
After that i will have to set up the ip routing and whatnot.

Which packages should i emerge and how should i arrange my kernel before i start messing around with the config files?

in short: download the iptables firewall-script at http://projectfiles.com/firewall/ and configure it to your setup ( the script is selfexplaining and good commented ) -> your adsl nic for external, ...
by this you have a firewall, including a router/gateway for other boxes.
at this point, all you have to do at your linux box is finished. now go to your sister and have a look at the lan settings or something like that. as gateway you enter your internal ip. if you are running a dns like named or djbdns(that i recommend) you can enter the ip your dns is listen to as nameserver for the win2k box, otherways have a look at your /etc/resolv.conf and put the ip of the nameserver given there to the nameserver list of the win2k box.

that should be all for routing

i think you have a prob with your nic
there is a little more to be done to setup your nic than just load the module. in the user docs you could have found a way configure it - eq ip,broadcast... have a look around

try this (copied from the gentoo docs) :
We need to setup just enough networking so that we can download sources for the system build, as well as the required localhost interface. Type in the following commands, replacing $IFACE with your network interface (typically eth0), $IPNUM with your IP address, $BCAST with your broadcast address, and $NMASK with your network mask. For the route command, replace $GTWAY with your default gateway.
