As I don't have all the information I'll suggest the following: 1. Add static route at your routing table in firewall regarding network 192.168.1.0/24, otherwise your linux won't know where to route packets. 2. Enable masquarading for the network 192.168.1.0/24 on your firewall. 3. Adjust filtering (if necessary) for the network 192.168.1.0/24. > 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.
