[ale] linux gateway...? simple question?

[Mark Hurley]

Ahhh....you did mention your kernel.  You need to configure
masquerading on your linux box.  And your 2.4 kernel uses iptables.

You can go to linuxdoc.org...plenty of docs there.

This *may* work for you...(see if I can pull this out of the bag'o
tricks)


iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/24 -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE


If it doesn't work...you have a starting point.  Btw...here's another
link on iptables:

Good Luck!
