Setting up IP mascarading.

[Shaya Potter <spotter@itd.nrl.navy.mil>]

I've finally convinced my school to set up a linux box so that we can 
have all the computers in the lab be able to access the net.  The way I 
plan to accomplish this is to set up one linux box that will dial into an 
ISP and run PPP.  I will then have all the Win95 machines run tcp/ip and 
gateway all the tcp/ip to the linux box.  The linux box should then 
forward it on to the ISP.  

All my experience with linux networking has either been plain lans or 
just setting up PPP.  I am sure I need to role my own kernel with things 
like IP mascarading, but do I also need firewalling and ip-forwarding.  

Does anyone have any good experience with this or can point me in the 
direction of some documentation.

Thanks,

Shaya
