Re: cable modem and LAN
Fairly simple:
Make sure your "internal network" interface is on one of the private
networks. I usually use 192.168.1.1 for the interface (192.168.1/24 is the
network) Make your kernel with the ipmasq options, install "ipmasq"
package, and restart with the new kernel. I'm assuming you're going to use
2.2.x kernel, 2.0.3x needs a couple patches, AFAIK.
Or you can try doing everything by hand. But I found "ipmasq" did it
better than I knew how at the time. :)
And you might want nice things on your server for the network: squid,
dhcp, DNS. And there is an ICQ helper patch for 2.2.1x ipmasq if you guys
happen to need it. Just websearch.
