Hi,
        I have installed redhat  5.0 on a Pentium II. I would like to
connect this
computer to a provider via ppp and use masquerade to mask an internal
ethernet.

I have problems to see the ethernet. I have a 3com 3c509B, I have
configured
de device, it seems to work correctly but a mac connected via a reapeter
to
Linux doesn't see linux.

I have read all howto but I don't understand what can be the error

Linux can see the packets (I have seen it whit ifconfig) but if I make
telnet
or ping using numerical address, it doesn't work

I can't understend if it is an hardware or a software  problem: it's
very strange.

Someone of you can  help me?

please, if possible, answer via e-mail

thanks, bye
Stefano
