Linux box as a router ?

dumpa · Apr 30, 2003

Is it possible ?
I read about this somewhere, but can't remember the link

Can you help me ?
What hardware is needed etc..?

I could use google but I want it in English

because I don't know much about Linux.

I have 4 computers total and I would like to use one as a router (Pentium II 400 MMX, 128 MB PC100, 6.4 GB Seagate HDD with SuSE 8.1 Personal).

I have a cable connection.

Thanks for your help.

You need 2 nic's in the box
one for the cable modem
one for your lan

Then set linux up, wich will
depend on wich version you use.

I've done it in redhat 8, and it's actually not nearly as difficult as you might think. If that's what you're going to be using, I'll post a guide for you.
