Hmmm, the ppp0 suggests you have an ISP that does ppp-over-ethernet. Is that right? In that case, at least with my ISP, you don't assign an ip address to the eth1, that is bound to the ppp0 virtual interface. Your routing table does not correspond to the explanation above, by the way. eth1 and eth0 are swapped around. My routing table looks like this at home: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface x.x.x.x 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 40 0 0 ppp0 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 40 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 40 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 U 40 0 0 ppp0 If you really are doing pppoe with your ADSL, i suggest you take a look at Roaring Penguin. Rock solid and efficient pppoe client. Also takes care of the MTU problem so you don't have to change that on all the clients. > > and I ran the command 'echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward' > Good, you need that. make sure you edit /etc/sysctl to make it stick across reboots. > The win98 machine (192.168.1.135/24) I configured with the eth0 > address as > default gateway and for the dns I used the addresses from my ISP, the > same > as in the '/etc/resolv.conf' file on the RH box. > > The routing table on the win98 box looks like this: > > Network Address Netmask Gateway Address Interface Metric > 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.254 192.168.1.135 1 > 127.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 1 > 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0192.168.1.135 192.168.1.135 1 > 192.168.1.135 255.255.255.255 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 1 > 192.168.1.255-255.255.255.255 192.168.1.135-192.168.1.135 1 > 224.0.0.0 224.0.0.0 192.168.1.135 192.168.1.135 1 > 255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.135-0.0.0.0 1 Jeez. I've never looked at the routing table on the Win9x boxes. It should know the LAN and the default gw, isn't that enough? > > Now comes my problem.
