sharing my connection with PS3

[C J]

i have seen the light recently and installed ubuntu on my pc

but i want to delete windows for good hope ull guys will help me with this.

here is the situation

on my main system i have 2 NIC's which are properly installed.
eth0 is my onboard nic and the 1 that is connected to the internet

eth1 is a pci nic and is connected with my PS3

this is all connected with wire

in XP it works so i assume there is no mistake in the setup.

thanx in advance..

This (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing) help page should be a good place to start.

thanx for the respond.

but that didnt sort it our for me...

isnt there a user friendly way to do this using the 'edit connections' trough the connection symbol on the upper panel?

thanx for ur post

some how i cant get firestarter running(pressing the play button)

its says my eth1 isnt active

but it runs if i default all nic settings but cant share internet connection with it.

can some1 tell me if its possible with the build in network manager??

after a while trying different settings i managed to receive an IP but at the internet connection test is gives a DNS error(i use the openDNS adresses, 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220) even though iv inputed the same DNS adresses in both my PC n PS3

any suggestions?

anyone??

can some1 tell me if its possible with the build in network manager?? Not easily - Network Manager seems to control only one interface at a time. One option mentioned was to remove NM, re-install the old manager (gnome-network-admin?), and use /etc/network/interfaces as before.

what should i be typing in the network/interface??

both of my network cards?

can u show me an example (with dns and all)

thanx
