RE: Internet Sharing Again

I remember something like this happened to me when i first tried sharing my
internet connection, here at home. It was because I wasn't masquerading. I
can't remember your previous posts, so if you are masquerading (or are not,
but are not for a good reason), please tell us more, so we can help. If you
need to masquerade, read the Masquerading mini-howto.

I'm not too good at explaining things, so i won't try to explain why (unless
you really want me to, but I'm sure it's explained in a howto somewhere) you
won't get a response if you only forward, but not masquerade packets to the
outside world.

Good luck,
Andy
