Download the prebuilt iptables script, which includes masquerading
(which is what MS calls internet sharing), from:
http://mirkk.kurd.nu/~monmotha/firewall/index.php
(rc.firewall-2.3.5), put it in /etc, make it executable and owned by
root, and call it from the end of your /etc/rc.local. You can then
run it from a terminal on /etc (./rc.firewall-2.3.5) while debugging
your changes, then reboot and root-run iptables -L.
