   append = “ether=11,0×390,eth1″

   run lilo to update the lilo loader

4. vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1

   DEVICE=eth1
   IPADDR=192.168.0.1
   NETMASK=255.255.255.0>
   ONBOOT=yes

5. vi /etc/sysconfig/network, and append following line:

   FORWADR_IPV4=yes

6. vi /etc/rc.d/rc.local and append following line:

   echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
   /sbin/ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -s 192.168.0.0/24 -d 0.0.0.0/0
