Hi all.  Just to give some further confirmation to the other recent poster
questioning masq on RH 7.2 (2.4.7-10).  As stated by another respondent
everything works fine using the rc.firewall examples provided here.  No need
to recompile the kernel, just make sure ipchains are disabled.

Anyhow, now for my selfish post.  As stated above, I have ipmasq using the
basic example working fine.  I have two NICs in my Linux box called gateway
(that recently replaced an NT box) eth0 DHCP connected to the Internet, and
eth1 static 192.168.2.5 255.255.255.0 connected to my internal LAN.
Everything works great.  However, I also have a wireless network 192.168.1.0
255.255.255.0, which is routed by another machine running NT with a wired
NIC and a wireless NIC.  I have connectivity between the two networks.  I
can ping, ssh etc. to gateway from a machine on the wireless network
(192.168.1.1).  I can get to the Internet too, but only when I configure my
browser to use the proxy server running on the gateway (Apache).  I would
like to be able to masq the wireless network as well.  Is this possible
without having a 192.168.1.0 NIC in the Linux box?  In the basic rc.firewall
shouldn't anything coming into eth1 be masqed out eth0?

I am planning on installing a third NIC, a new 802.11b to upgrade my
existing Proxim stuff, in the Linux box, but that's a whole other story, and
I would like to get the existing setup working for now, as I would assume it
is a pretty simple configuration issue that I have wrong.

Thanks everyone.

Greg

P.S.  This probably isn't a fair question because I really haven't spent all
that much time looking at the problem, but when I load the strong firewall
file from here, everything loads fine, but then I can even get to the wired
192.168.2.0 network from my wireless devices 192.168.1.0.  Any hints on
where to look for the rule I need to change in the strong firewall.
