Friends:
How can I share my DSL connection, using my Yellow Dog Linux machine (a
Wallstreet PowerBook G3 Series) as a router? (Let's ignore the fact
that this probably violates my terms of service agreement, which I will
have to reread to be certain.)
I know how to share the Internet connection from Mac OS X, because it
is so easy: click "Share the connection with other computers on
Built-in Ethernet" in the Sharing System Preferences panel. It is my
understanding that this turns on the Domain Name Server (DNS) built-in
to Mac OS X. How can I accomplish the same from Yellow Dog Linux?
Some specs: My Internet service provider is SBC Yahoo, and my DSL
service arrives as PPoE, with an IP address supplied from the DSL
modem. The modem is a "SpeedStream 5100 Ethernet ADSL Modem by
Efficient Networks," if it matters. I also have a no-frills Ethernet
hub.
Thanks!
Best wishes,
Clint
