I don't like the way that my telco does there DSL stuff. It is $49.99 (US dollars) just for the standard DHCP assigned IP service, and it is an extra $20 for a Static IP, and if I want to use one of their routers to share the connection with my other computers it is an extra $20 plus the cost of the router. Well... I decided that I didn't like that, so I set my Linux box up as a router (by hand) with IP masquerading (cool huh?). This allows me to share the connection without having to pay the extra $20 and router cost (which means I have to use one of the private IP ranges, I use 10.x.x.x). With a minimum of client computer setup (all the required info is DNS servers and the Gateway is set to the private IP of the Linux Router).
Update...
I have gotten my ftp port forwarding up and running (I am kind of new to
the whole loadable modules deal). I also turned on the Real Audio masq
stuff.
-=-=-I have also added a link to the IPMASQ web page. This site is one of the resources that I used to help me get my router up and running to my specs.

I will be adding all the details of the setup and various
other setup
options for your system and your best Bud.
