there's several things to resolve, and probably a few more that are beyond my awareness -- but here's what i'd look for: 1) modconf -> ipv4 -> select and install ip-masq modules that look like they'd help with what you're after. 2) apt-get install ipmasq ... it'll take much of the worry and sweat out of configuring your firewall rules. 3) keep reading and soon someone will continue this thread showing where i'm all wet. -- See, if you were allowed to keep the money, you wouldn't create jobs with it.
