[NTLUG:Discuss] Sharing Internet Connection

[Jack Snodgrass]

create a file called /etc/rc.d/rc.mask
put in

/sbin/iptables -F
/sbin/insmod ip_nat_ftp
/sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.100.0/24 -o eth0 -j
MASQUERADE

that should get you started.
Look at http://endoshield.sourceforge.net/ if you want to get more
secure. It is pretty simple to set up and will give you more
firewall type protection.... in addition to the sharing stuff you
get with MASQUERADE.
