Thanks to the people who worked to make IP-Masq a functional part of my 
internet experience.

I do have a question, but first let me give you a rundown of my setup.

We have three computers on our LAN:
Workstation 1 is running IP: 192.168.1.77
Workstation 2 is running IP: 192.168.1.177
Gateway computer is running internal IP: 192.168.1.1
Gateway computer is running external IP: 14.15.18.182 (cable modem)

Workstation 1 is running Slackware Linux 7 (kernel 2.2.14)
Workstation 2 is running Mandrake Linux 7 (kernel 2.2.14-1mdklinus)
Gateway is running Mandrake Linux 7 (kernel 2.2.14-1mdklinus)

All IPs are STATIC.

Here is my problem:
I have MASQ set up so that both workstations can freely access the internet 
correctly. It works great!
I'm using the module ip_masq_irc to get DCCs to work through the gateway. 
(ports=6666,6667,6668,6669,7000,1024,1025,1026,1027,1028,1029)

On Workstation 1 or 2, I connect to dallas.tx.us.undernet.org on port 6667. 
DCC sends and DCC receives work just great, no problems.

On Workstation 1 or 2, I connect to an ircd on the gateway machine 
(14.15.18.182 port 6667). DCC receives work just great, but DCC sends do not 
work at all.

I was told that I need to install IP-NAT on the gateway to make the 
Workstations resolve differently to get DCCs to work correctly. Whenever I 
try to install IP-NAT, it messes up my kernel rather badly.

My questions are:

What really is the problem? OR How can I find out what the real problem is?
Is IP-NAT really the correct fix?
What options do I have to get this to work right?

Thanks in advance for any help that is offered to me, and if someone gives 
me a really good answer that works, maybe I'll buy you a pizza. :P

Let Linux Ring,

Gordon
