Greetings all,

When @home went under I lost my static IP and  my cable company forced me
to switch to DHCP.  Over the past few weeks, I have been trying to sort
out the consequences.  

Everything seams to be working fine  if I use:
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j SNAT --to my.ip.address

But since my ip changes occasionally now, I thought I should be using:
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

When I do this, however, my machines on the internal network can't see the
rest of the world.

I hope I am not misinterpreting the documentation.  Please let me know
what the best way to fix this is, or even how to truble shoot it.  I'm not
getting any error messages.

System: linux 2.4.16
        debian testing
        dhclient 2.0pl5

Thanks,
JD
