Hi, I'm looking to set up my debian box as a router to share the modem between itself and another machine which is dual-boot (debian/win98). Since I work at an ISP I can get a static IP for the second box as well as the first (when I dial up the radius server at my ISP recognizes my username and assigns the right IP). I would like to be able to share the modem when both computers are on, but have the dual-boot box able to dial up by itself also.
I know that to do this I have to recompile my kernel to enable IP forwarding, but beyond that I have no idea how to make this work. Do I need to turn on any other features in the kernel? How do I configure the dual-boot box to enable it to recognize this route, but still be able to work through dialup? And what do I need to ask the networking guy at my ISP to configure, routewise? Thanks in advance, Stuart.
