sharing network problem - again

Hi, i hoped to avoid posting this problem, but i just can't get internet sharing working!
My setup is this: I have a PC connected directly to a adsl-modem via a netcard, and via a second netcard (and a crossed cable) i have a second PC connected to the first, both are running Archlinux, the first is up to date, but the second is 0.6 (since i can't update...).

The 2 PC's have no problems communicating, ping and ssh is working perfectly both ways.
To share the connection, i have this in the rc.conf:

The one connected to the modem:

lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
eth1="eth1 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255"

INTERFACES="lo eth0 eth1"


#
# Routes to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each route then list in ROUTES
#   (prefix a route in ROUTES with a ! to disable it)
#
gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(!gateway)

The one needing the connection:

#
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="eth0 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255"
#eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)

#
# Routes to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each route then list in ROUTES
#   (prefix a route in ROUTES with a ! to disable it)
#
gateway="default gw 192.168.1.1"
ROUTES=(gateway)

And i have this "firewall" installed on the one connected to the internet:

#!/bin/sh
#
# rc.firewall-2.4
FWVER=0.75
#
#               Initial SIMPLE IP Masquerade test for 2.4.x kernels
#               using IPTABLES.  
#
#               Once IP Masquerading has been tested, with this simple 
#               ruleset, it is highly recommended to use a stronger 
#               IPTABLES ruleset either given later in this HOWTO or 
#               from another reputable resource.
#
#
#
# Log:
#       0.75 - Added more kernel modules to the comments section
#       0.74 - the ruleset now uses modprobe vs. insmod
#       0.73 - REJECT is not a legal policy yet; back to DROP
#       0.72 - Changed the default block behavior to REJECT not DROP
#       0.71 - Added clarification that PPPoE users need to use
#              "ppp0" instead of "eth0" for their external interface
#       0.70 - Added commented option for IRC nat module
#            - Added additional use of environment variables 
#            - Added additional formatting
#       0.63 - Added support for the IRC IPTABLES module
#       0.62 - Fixed a typo on the MASQ enable line that used eth0
#              instead of $EXTIF
#       0.61 - Changed the firewall to use variables for the internal
#              and external interfaces.
#       0.60 - 0.50 had a mistake where the ruleset had a rule to DROP
#              all forwarded packets but it didn't have a rule to ACCEPT
#              any packets to be forwarded either
#            - Load the ip_nat_ftp and ip_conntrack_ftp modules by default
#       0.50 - Initial draft

# The location of the iptables and kernel module programs
#
#   If your Linux distribution came with a copy of iptables, 
#   most likely all the programs will be located in /sbin.  If 
#   you manually compiled iptables, the default location will
#   be in /usr/local/sbin
#
# ** Please use the "whereis iptables" command to figure out 
# ** where your copy is and change the path below to reflect 
# ** your setup
#
#IPTABLES=/sbin/iptables
IPTABLES=/usr/sbin/iptables
DEPMOD=/sbin/depmod
MODPROBE=/sbin/modprobe


#Setting the EXTERNAL and INTERNAL interfaces for the network
#
#  Each IP Masquerade network needs to have at least one
#  external and one internal network.  The external network
#  is where the natting will occur and the internal network
#  should preferably be addressed with a RFC1918 private address
#  scheme.
#
#  For this example, "eth0" is external and "eth1" is internal"
#
#
#  NOTE:  If this doesnt EXACTLY fit your configuration, you must 
#         change the EXTIF or INTIF variables above. For example: 
#
#            If you are a PPPoE or analog modem user:
#
#               EXTIF="ppp0" 
#
#
EXTIF="eth0"
INTIF="eth1"

#                        option, etc.

#
#    ipt_mark       - this target marks a given packet for future action.
#                     This automatically loads the ipt_MARK module
#
#    ipt_tcpmss     - this target allows to manipulate the TCP MSS
#                     option for braindead remote firewalls.
#                     This automatically loads the ipt_TCPMSS module
#
#    ipt_limit      - this target allows for packets to be limited to
#                     to many hits per sec/min/hr
#
#    ipt_multiport  - this match allows for targets within a range
#                     of port numbers vs. listing each port individually

#                     IP/TCP flags set

But it just won't work! If you can spot any problems please let me know!

UPDATE:
Just talked to my ISP, and they tell me that my IP-adress is locked to one PC. Could this be the problem? or does the forwarding handles this as well?

Re: sharing network problem - again

Hey tgc, thank you for posting your problem so generously explained!

I had no idea of how to do it, and I only had to change a small obvious typo to make it work. At least I suppose the typo is the reason for your sharing not to work....

Lets see...did you change the

eth0="eth0 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"

to

eth0="eth0 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255"

just now? I'm sure I had to change that, but I have a strange memory smile

So, the way the configuraton looks now, works perfectly for sharing my isdn connection with my laptop over wlan.

Desktop: isdn, eth0 -> wireless router / hub
Laptop: wlan0

So, what I'm saying anyway, is that your configuration works for me smile Thanks!
