There is a Mini-Howto in that list that covers it *EXACTLY* how I wanted it!!! &nbsp;If you're looking for this, then look for the Mini-Howto entitled &quot;Red Hat Linux 6.X as an Internet Gateway for a Home Network&quot;, that covers the setup to a 'T'.<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />

The ipchains howto, though a bit more technical is also good to read.

I've got an in-home network that is set up to share a cable modem connection using Windows 98 Internet Connection Sharing. &nbsp;This service acts as a DHCP server, DNS passthrough, proxy server, and firewall for my internal network.<br />
<br />
I want to emulate this in Linux.<br />
<br />
I've read up on IP Masquerading, but I don't know if this is an adequate service.<br />
<br />
Here is my question:<br />
What services do I need to run (or download, install and run) to perform the same features as the W98 ICS? &nbsp;I want to be able to add more clients to the internal network later, and if I can ge DHCP to do the network setup it would be TONS easier.<br />
<br />
I'm not certian if ICS just passes through the DNS request to the DNS server or if it performs the DNS request for the client and translates in the proxy.<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />
