Fairly simple:
Make sure your "internal network" interface is on one of the private networks. I usually use 192.168.1.1 for the interface (192.168.1/24 is the network) Make your kernel with the ipmasq options, install "ipmasq" package, and restart with the new kernel. I'm assuming you're going to use 2.2.x kernel, 2.0.3x needs a couple patches, AFAIK. Or you can try doing everything by hand. But I found "ipmasq" did it better than I knew how at the time. :) And you might want nice things on your server for the network: squid, dhcp, DNS. And there is an ICQ helper patch for 2.2.1x ipmasq if you guys happen to need it. Just websearch.
