Router

Hi all

I have install RH9.0 on one of my computer. I would like to use this
computer as my main gateway to the internet and a DNS server. Does anyone
know how to or where I should go to find the information to set this up.
Thanks all

Try a google search. But first you need:
NAT, DNS (not necessary), iptables, SQUID (+a patch for tri-state if you
have a dial-up connection) and a lot of reading. The how tos are just
fine...

The HOWTOs from The Linux Documentation Project at [url]www.tldp.org[/url] were just
what I needed when I set up my box to do just what you're planning.

Do a search for ip masquerading on Yahoo.
I have a redhat 8 set up as a router for my xp box.
-It's really great!
-I can help you do it, I am very familiar
with how to set it up.

NAT is provided by netfilter (which is included in 2.4 kernels), and
squid is entirely optional and not required. In truth, you just need a
kernel to do gatewaying, and it is fairly simple.

Check the netfilter docs on how to enable simple masquerading.
