Two BeOS Machines Share Dialup - How?

I've been trying to get my two BeOS 5.0 Pro machines to share an Internet dialup connection. They are connected with two NICs using a crossover rj45 cable. I have been using BeServed to exchange files between them, so I know that the NICs are working. But I am sure that I don't have the correct entries in my configurations.

Here's how the Network configurations are set up:

On the host machine (with the dialup connection):

Domain name: tyro.net
Host name: Home2
Primary DNS: (blank)
Secondary DNS: (blank)
Interface enabled (checked)
Obtain settings automatically (NOT checked)
Specify settings (checked)
IP address: 192.168.0.2
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: (blank)
FTP server (checked)
Telnet server (unchecked)
Apple talk (unchecked)
IP forwarding (checked)


On the client machine:

Domain name: tyro.net
Host name: Home2
Primary DNS: (blank)
Secondary DNS: (blank)
Interface enabled (checked)
Obtain settings automatically (NOT checked)
Specify settings: (checked)
IP address: 192.168.0.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.2
FTP server (checked)
Telnet server (unchecked)
Apple talk (unchecked)
IP forwarding (checked)


Here is how NATConfig is set up on the host machine

LAN 192.168.0.2 (NAT doesn't allow me to change this)
Internet 192.168.0.2 (Nor can I change this)
Port Timeout 4
Socket Timeout 1
Socket Pool Size 5
Start Port 30000
End Port 60000
NAT On (checked)

I don't have NAT set up on the client machine. And I do not have proxy enabled in NetPositive or Mozilla on the client machine.

Please help. How do I set up networking and NAT and my browsers so that these two machines can share a modem connetion?

Unfortunately, Nat doesn't work in R5. You'll need to either run NAT on R4.5 with the modem, or get you a seperate modem router. :(

Thanks folks.

Is there some program other than NAT that will allow two networked BeOS machines to share a dialup connection?

Sorry, I didn't read it all.
Try and do a recompile on this.

Thank you, Jefro, for your efforts. I tried to
download HTTP Proxy, but the links are broken. I
searched elsewhere too but to no avail. Darn. Do
you know where a copy might be found?

I've managed to get the two BeOS machines to share
a dialup connection -- sort of -- using Personal
Proxy Gate. Net Positive on the client machine
won't connect with certain sites, and hardly any of
the search engines I use will work. I would like
to try HTTP Proxy which I have downloaded from the
site that Jefro gave me in the previous post, but I
haven't been able to install and configure it. Do
you know of any instructions on this?
