If you only have one nic, you can still masq, it's not a problem if you _just
want to masq_.
Security wise it's not much of a gain, but it helps getting online with a
couple of computers.
What you should do is :
--
# ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
# route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0:0
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
# ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.255 -d 0/0 -j MASQ
--
Now you should be able to masq, just don't forget to point your client machines
their default gw to 192.168.1.1
Note: I just want to say again: for security you need two nics!
