Hi Rickard,

If you send me $1200 US, I will cover any shipping costs. :)

>Seriously, what is the problem?

Really?  I didn't expect such a quick response, or an offer to assist.
I have been building up functionality on a gradual basis.  I have sendmail
and the Apache httpd running.  My next step was to bring up the 
secondary network interface.  I can't do that without cutting off my LAN
from the Internet unless I get NAT to work.  Nothing I have tried seems
to get IP Masquerading to work.

I don't like the web based admin tool.  I only like to use the command
line.  I have set up the Qube so I can access the console from another
Linux machine's serial port. And I can access the Qube from any machine
on my LAN via ssh.

At this point, all I want is IP Masquerading.  Here is my LAN setup:

    eth0:  192.168.0.1/24
    eth1:  66.27.51.34/30

Can you tell me the exact rules to give ipchains?  
Will they take effect immediately, without reboot?

Thanks!

Full of renewed hope,

Larry
