linux & ipmasq

[Kevin O'Connor]

Marc,
	Since you are running Mandrake 7 (I just installed this a couple weeks
ago myself) you are running a 2.2.14 kernel. With 2.2 and later kernels,
you are using IPCHAINS. 

The HOWTO for IPCHAINS can be found at: 
http://www.rustcorp.com/linux/ipchains/HOWTO.html

The HOWTO for IPMASQ can be found at:
http://www.e-infomax.com/ipmasq/ipmasq-HOWTO-1.82.html

Exactly where the lines go depends on how you have set it up. If it is
set  up per the HOWTO, probably '/etc/ipchains.rules' or
'/etc/rc.d/rc.firewall'. You will know if you are in the right place
because you will see similar looking lines in the file.

See also the man pages:

#man ipchains
#man ipfw

Since they ran out of room on the Mandrake 7 CD, you will probably want
to get the whole set of HOWTOs from:
http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#howto

I grabbed the HTML version and serve them up w/ Apache.

If my attempt at helping you out proves inadequate, ask here again and
one of the more experienced folks will help you out.
