Since you plan to use pmfirewall, you're half way there. There is no need for any additional hardware... the two NICs you have connect the two computers, and a modem in one dials the ISP, correct? This is enough. When you install pmfirwall, your external interface will be ppp0 (your modem) and the internal interface (say 'yes' to masquerading) will be eth0. It's reall very simple, just answer the questions carefully... you can always run the install script again. let me know if you have any problems. --Greg ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ron Marriage" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Hi have a home network setup, two computers each with a single NIC. > A crossover cable. > I can ping and telnet between them fine. > I want to share a dialup connection on one machine. > > Can I use the single NIC with the same IP as the gateway, or do I define > another IP for the same card and call this the gateway? > Is it easier just to install another NIC in this machine and give it an IP > number?
