I've being following the great tutorial at www.tldp.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO/index.html and have used the "rc.firewall-2.4-stronger" script. However, I don't know why I have to type "/etc/rc.d/rc.firewall-2.4-stronger" in order to be able to browse the WWW from my Windows2000 PC (via the Linux PC). The script is supposed to initialize on bootup. Until I type "/etc/rc.d/rc.firewall-2.4-stronger", I can only browse the WWW from the Linux PC. I think the problem is related to the file "firewall-2.4", in the /etc/rc.d/init.d" directory. If someone is familiar with implementing this configuration, I would appreciate the help. I am really new to this. B.T.W - How secure and flexible is this kind of solution compared to other tools/methods of making Linux a router and NATing traffic? I plan on making my Linux PC a DNS, e-mail and web server. Any glaring issues with IP Masquerading?
