Hello All:

   I've partially followed the iptables et al. discussion with time 
out for a massive restoration after a disk failure.

   My only comment is that I bought a very small NetGear router for 
about $80 that will support 32 PCs and had it up and running with 
DHCP, NAT, SSH and HTTPD port forwarding in the time that it's taken 
me to read just a few of these messages.

   Understanding how to do this in Linux, while important, may not be 
the best use of your time.  It was not the case for me.  I guess I'm 
saying that what's important for me is the right tool at the right 
time.
