Hi I just subscribed to this list and hope this isn't a frequent
question. I'm about ready to buy a Raq3i with dual ethernet. Can I
plug my cable modem into one ethernet and my LAN into the other? I
saw the product comparison chart on the cobalt site and it said that
the raq didn't support NAT. I only have one IP and was hoping that
the Raq could act as the gateway for me. Is this something that is
easily installed in case it doesn't come with it preconfigured?
Yes NAT is possible on the RaQs. You can use teh scripts that were made
available on this list in April. (Search the archives.) The software that
allows NAT on the RaQ3s is called IPchains. You can look at the
IPCHAINS-HOWTO if you want to know how it works. Basically you will have a
Firewall *and* NAT if you decide to go forward.
