the url is to use your linux as router (internet sharing), thus needs 2 nic.

[albertlee]

Edit the /etc/network/interfaces file (refer to below example) using whatever text editor you familar with.


# An example static IP setup
#
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
network 192.168.1.0
gateway 192.168.1.1

sibei jialat, i think what you need to learn is beyond asking in forum with "i dunno this or that". i think buy book self learn more productive :D

No offend, didn't even knew what's NIC, get a book "Networking for Dummy" will put you on the right track of setting up a simple networking with port forwarding, you can borrow these books from our national library.
