IP Masquerade is a kernel function, basically it allows
a linux machine to do NAT (Network Address Translation)
and so allow machines on a private IP network, to access
another network (or the Internet) without having to be
known there (from the Internet, or the other network,
all traffic will seem to originate on the machine doing
the IP Masq).
So in your case you would probably configure your Linux
machine at work to do the routing/masquerading, and your
home machine could access the Internet (and/or your company
network, if you wish) without having to configure _anything_
on your workplace network (except for the linux machine).
You have to install:
1. a kernel with IP masq enabled (most distributions
will do).
2. management utilities for firewall rules (also most
distros have them).
As to configuration, you have the man pages for the utilities
(man ipchains) and the HOWTOs:
. IP Masquerading mini-Howto
. IPCHAINS Howto
and of course you still have newsgroups and ML (such as here)
for more help ... but please read the doc FIRST !!!
