Thanks for your speedy reply! I've been procrastinating getting this masquerading working for some time now. Ended up rebuilding my kernel,
which I'd never done before, but that's another story.

Yes, I have two NIC's. The NIC on the internal LAN is eth0; the one that connects to the Cisco is eth1.
By "aliasing", are you referring to the use of the names "eth0" and "eth1" instead of the actual board names?

Haven't gotten around to that yet. I got the impression that if I couldn't ping the Cisco from one of the internal systems, it wouldn't
work. Or maybe I missed this step somewhere.

I think the author of the how-to even admits it's not very good. :-) I'll check that other one out.
