I have two linux PCs running Red Hat 9 both connect to each other via a hub
and one
PC connects to the internet via an external modem.

I set up my PC and modem with Kppp to access the net which does so
fine but now how do I set up the other PC to access the net sharing the
other PC's modem.

The modem PC's settings are:

IP : 192.168.0.1
SUB : 255.255.255.0
Should I set the gateway settings to point to itself (ie 192.168.0.1) for
leave this feild
blank?

The other PC settings are

IP : 192.168.0.12
SUB : 255.255.255.0
GATE: 192.168.0.1

Both PC's have DNS servers running, do I need these running?

Is there a link that explains how to do this in newbie speak?

Thanking all
