I forgot about one more thing you need. Find the ipchains.lrp package and make sure it's on one of your diskettes so that it gets loaded. Then you can type in the rule that gets you internal networked and masq'd and gets the packets forwarded back and forth: ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -i eth1 -s <eth1_network_address/eth1_netmask> for me would look like ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -i eth1 -s 10.2.3.0/24 or maybe on yours it would be ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -i eth1 -s 192.168.1.0/24 you get the idea. Then, everything else being in order, you should be on your way. The portfw and autofw modules are used with the ipmasqadm command. That is used to forward port from the external interface to a server on the internal network somwhere. Not an issue for you at this time.
