I assume you have your ethernet car configure ! your "DSL mo em plugge in an that your car is at eth#. $irst assign an I% " ress& By efault! #'(.#)*.#.# is the interface a ress for the router. So you can assign any other I%. I use #'(.#)*.#.#++. If you use ,e Hat-$e ora! o ifconfig eth# #'(.#)*.#.#++. Next! the gate.ay. On ,e Hat-$e ora you .oul o route a efault g. #'(.#)*.#.#

No. e it -etc-resolv.conf to configure the DNS server. %ut this in& nameserver )#.#.').)' nameserver )#.#.')./# That0s 1asically it. ,estart your net.or2 an it shoul magically start .or2ing. 3ust in case it oes not! use your favorite 1ro.ser to surf to http&--#'(.#)*.#.#-.

In case you .ant to ma2e your clients use a proxy! configure a proxy server on the L"N. Ho.ever! if your mo em cannot 1e configure in router mo e! it .ill .or2 in 1ri ge mo e an most li2ely it .ill use %%%o4. In such a case you can use a Linux system as a router an proxy as .ell.
