you can type them in to a terminal (as root) to test them. Once you have
it working, you can put it in a file to be run for you at startup. There
are many ways to do this. One is to put them in
/etc/rc.d/rc.local. Another is to create a "service" script and put it in
/etc/rc.d/init.d, but for a beginner I'd suggest /etc/rc.d/rc.local

correct. You can see it on your terminal as the machine boots (the snippet
I gave you came from rc.local on one of my machines)

Yes, sorry about that. The snippet is from a 6.2 machine. Use this to load
all modules avialable on your 7.0 machine
# Load all available ip_masq modules
OLD_DIR="$PWD"
cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ipv4/
for amod in ip_masq* ; do
masqmod=`echo ${amod} | sed -e 's/\.o$//'`
echo installing $masqmod
/sbin/modprobe "$masqmod"
done
cd "$OLD_DIR"

Ok, in your case replace 192.168.1 with 192.168.0. Ignore the last
3. You will have to do some reading/learning about subneting networks,
but for now just believe me that when using syntax like 192.168.0.0/24 you
are saying to cover all IPs starting with 192.168.0.
Thats a crappy explanation, but ohers can do better, and I honestly don't
have time right now. Run these ipchains commands, setup a pc to use it as
it's gateway and see how it works for you.
