Azeez, what you need is not trite retorts from resident list
imbeciles (see Bill's response below), but rather to employ an
iptables firewall application/script. There are numerous available
to meet any need from simple to enterprise-capable. Firestarter,
Shorewall, and I believe there is a basic firewall configuration
utility in the distro. The web-based firewall gui in Webmin provides
a very simple rudimentary funtion for this. There are many others.
It might be as simple as:
        modprobe iptable_nat
        iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE
        echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

but if you have to ask the question, you might be better off with one of
the appliance systems that do this for you along with a lot of other
things - like SME server or Clarkconnect.

Strange - I don't remember writing any of the text attributed to me.
Are you sure you got the quote correct Les?

Thunderbird did my quoting - and what I replied to (yours) did not have any quoting on the parts now 3 levels deep.
