Shorewall users - Aug 2003 - Mandrake Internet Connection sharing?

Hello,

I had to reinstall Mandrake 9.0 last night.

When I fist installed Shorewall I used the internet connection sharing app. so
that both me and
the wife can be on the internet at the same time. I have a ppp connection to my
isp.I''m about 6
months new to linux and I was wondering what extra steps I would need to take to
get this working
if I didn''t use the internet connection sharing app.
I know right now that if eth0 is up and dial out that I never get out to the
internet. I have to
bring eth0 down first and then all is fine. If there are to many steps involved
to both the list I
can take it somewhere else if need be. But if anyone can help that would be
great.

Is anyone else sharing their ppp0 connection and Shorewall without using
Mandrakes Internet
Connection sharing app.?

Much appreaciated.

Thanks,
JBanks

a) Go to the Shorewall site.
b) See the Heading "New to Shorewall?"
c) Follow the link.
d) You have two interfaces and a single public IP address.

Think you can take it from there?

Just so you don''t get lost -- the heading is "Getting Started with
Shorewall" -- the first sentence in that section begins "New to
Shorewall?"
