the internet connection is from
into eth0 and a hub is plugged into eth1, then a linksys PAP2 into the hub.
firestarter is installed, and dhcp, it's just a matter of configuration, masquerading, I believe.
first, I'd like to "check" the hardware somehow. can the hub be pinged? alternatively, I have a crossover cable.
again, the internet is WI-FI, I don't have access to the WI-FI router. the WI-FI adapter plugs into eth0 of the computer and the hub plugs into eth1 of the computer. I haven't set up masquerading, which, I believe, is required. again, I have crossover cable to use instead of the hub, too. the crossover cable could go from eth1 to the PAP2. of course, the phone plugs into the PAP2.
I've just started to look this recently, but am in a bit of a time crunch, unfortunately. how do I set up the masquerading, please?
thanks,
