I'd like to know if the slink kernel is built with IP Masq? Or could someone point me to where can I find information on setup a IP Masq linux box. TIA!
Check out the IP masquerading HOWTO, on your favorite HOWTO mirror. it explains all the options you need to enable when recompiling your kernel (if you need to, i never use stock kernels for any longer then it takes to compile my own) it also goes over in detail how to configure everything properly, for both 2.0 and 2.2 kernels.
potato and possibly slink have a ipmasq package which seems to work right out the box if your kernel is ipmasq compiled, though i think it would be a good idea to read the howto and go over those rules to make sure they are appropriate for your environment. (you may have differing security requirements etc)
