I suppose you have a proxy, in order to share Internet
access:
The only thing you must do is to set up mozilla to use
your proxy in this case machine B.
Then the diagram that you have is something like:
dinamyc ip 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.2
--- ---------- ---------
|ISP|-----| Machine A|-------------|Machine B|
--- ---------- ---------
If the diagram that I draw is correct your
configuration at linux must be:
#ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
#route add default gw 192.168.0.1
#route -n //this should
after this,as far as I know you must have a proxy in
machine A in order to share your internet conection.
You also must be able to run the command:
#dig www.yahoo.com // an get a correct response.
Any further help let me know.
Regards.
