IP MASQ Setup

[Albrecht Dreß]

Try the following in rc.local (which works for my network), but be sure to 
replace the (isdn) device ippp0 by ppp0:

~~~~~ snip here ~~~~~
modprobe iptable_nat
/sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ippp0 -j MASQUERADE
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
~~~~~ snip here ~~~~~

For further information, see the "Linux 2.4 NAT Howto".

Hth,

	Albrecht.
