Just picked up on this thread. I assume your 1st machine is the
gateway, and you want your 2nd machine to access the Internet through
the first machine. It looks like 192.168.127.68 is the local IP address
of your first machine, and 192.168.127.65 is the local IP address of
your second machine. If this is the case, it looks to me that the
routing table of your 1st machine is off. If you're connecting directly
to the Internet from this first machine, this doesn't need a gateway
listed in its routing table. Remove the gateway entry 192.168.127.68
from the 1st machine's routing table. If you're connecting to the
Internet from this machine by ppp0, check the routing table after you're
connected. You should see the dynamically assigned IP address of your
modem as the gateway of your 1st machine. The routing table of your 2nd
machine needs to list your first machine as its gateway. Remove the
gateway entry for 192.168.127.65 from the 2nd machine's routing table,
and add a gateway entry for 192.168.127.68. And you'll need to compile
IP masquerading into your kernel, if you haven't done so already. Good
luck,
Hidong
