Very Computer

Hi

A while ago I set up my linux box as a router and allowed my Mac through the
firewall to connect to the Internet.

I've now got another Mac and want to add it's IP address so I can use the
net - but I cannot for the life of me remember how I did it.

I've searched all my config files but vaguely remember setting it through a
command using IP chains, not by a config file.

can anyone help ?

It depends on exactally what you are trying to do, but if your Linux box is
your gateway, then the only reason you will want to change anything is to add
the new IP to the ipchains list.  Take a look at the output of the
/sbin/ipchains -L -n file.  You may also want to take a look at the
/etc/sysconfig/ipchains file (which is where the information is stored).

See ya
