RE: rc.local in debian (was: Ip Masquerading)
Hello..
I have configured my second interface as you told me (with a few
changes) and it's now working fine!!! Thanks a lot for your help to you
all!!!
Just two more questions.. I don't know if I should place "auto" on it
because the Windows box isn't permanently turned on, so I think that
Linux might show up an error message if the connection is up when the
Windows box is off, doesn´t it? Just like when I enable my other card
when it doesn't have a LAN cable in it.
The other thing is that, from the "masqueraded" PC (the windows box), I
can only ping the masquerading PC (the linux box) and not the other PCs
connected to the network (my brother´s windows PC and my linux box
connect directly to the ADSL router and my windows PC connects to the
linux box). The PC I can't ping or access is my brother´s PC.
Thanks for your assistance so far..
Ronald Castillo

Also, you'll probably want to add a line that says
"auto eth1"
which will make eth1 come up automatically at boot, instead of only
after you say "ifup eth1". IIRC, though, that's new since after potato.
good times,
