Share sympatico connection...

[psingcaster]

I just suscribe to Sympatico ISP (Bell Canada) and I installed and configured everything on my linux server to share the connection. Everything work find on my server box but for the other computers on the network, connection is a little slow and most of the web pages are not able to load.

I tried thoses rule for sharing my connection but with the same result:

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADING

and

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j SNAT --to-source <IP Adress>

Someone have an idea?!?

Someone told me that: With an ADSL connection, you must manage the MTU in your iptables rules.

Someone can valid and help me with that?!?

I'm on sympatico. You will need to use CLAMMSS ( MTU correction ) if you want to be able to reach goolge ( and most other sites ) from the shared to pcs.

I'd suggest to use shorewall where this is an option in the shorewall.conf
