First things first -- you have no modem, or the modem is in bridge mode (i.e. your Debian machine is directly connected to the Internet)? In what range is the IP address of your Debian box? > > my problem is that I cannot access the machine on eth1 when it > serves.

(or as routers often call it "virtual servers") You need port forwarding, known as DNAT to friends. The official documentation is here: http://www.netfilter.org/documentation/HOWTO//NAT-HOWTO.html Some examples: http://linux-ip.net/html/nat-dnat.html > > I also want to activate the firewall on the debian machine but that > also has caused problems with the internet connection sharing, > leaving the machine on eth1 connectionless. You already have a firewall, or you would have serious issues with connectivity from your eth1 box. How did you activate the firewall?
