Help with IP masquerading on a small LAN

[Luca Corti]

Hi,
I'm going to make a Linux server at work.
It will run on SuSe 7.2 and will be connected to the internet through a
router.I've compiled 2.4.18 kernel with iptables-1.2.6a patches. So far
I've managed to configure properly BIND as a caching-only DNS server, it
simply forwards DNS requests to the ISP's DNSs and maintains a small
cache.And the server acts as a gateway.
What I need is to give other PC's on the LAN Intenet access, but I want
all PC's to go on the Internet with the server's IP address using it as
a gateway.
Is this possible through IP Masquerading? How can this be done? Have you
any hints on where I can find specific documentation on such a problem?

The Lan is a class C configured as follows:
- 192.168.0.1 router.
- 192.168.0.5 server.
- 192.168.0.x other PC's on the LAN.

Thanks in advance

hello Luca, steve here

yes.. very possible

http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialNetworkGateway.html

http://www.linuxguruz.org/iptables/

these are three of the better links i found.

the one that really starts masq
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
or something similar to that
