Hi

I have connected my server to the internet via a usb 3g modem.  How do I share this connection to the other computers connecting to the server?  Can I also use dansguardian and squid on this connection?

Thanks!

D

majikins,
     I think that most folks would be put off of answering because of the USB 3g Modem.  I don't know if there is a way to route the IP traffic from the USB controller to the Internal ethxxx Ethernet NICs in the box.  I am quite sure that the ebox interface can't.  But I'm a newbie to unix and ebox, so someone please prove me wrong!

Alright I at least got it to work via wvdial and iptables - user connects via putty to a restricted account via ssh and dials up.  Then us iptables for firewalling.  Hopefully with more fiddling I'll get the interface to work. it does see the ppp0 interface but I can't get it to configure.
