I want to configure my linux machine as a router? i have a ppp0 broadband connection.?
Enable packet forwarding on your linux machine by editing /etc/sysctl.conf or by setting /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward to 1. Using iptables, allow forwarded traffic from the other system to pass through and also SNAT it before it leaves for internet.
Reply:No need to use squid. Just configure simple iptables rules in your linux box. you will find on in iptables HOW TO. Before doing this you would need enable routing in ur linux box. All these details are in the same HOWTO go get it and start working.
Waise you can also try ipcop distro, its very easy to install, configure and rock solid in performance.
