Hi folks, RH 9.0 ======== I am prepared to config/setup iptables which has already been installed and running. From [url]http://www.netfilter.org/documentation/[/url] I found following tutorials; iptables tutorial by Oskar Andreasson. Taming the wild Netfilter by linuxjournal. Comparison of iptables automation tools by Anton Chuvakin. Set up an gateway for home or office by YoLinux. Iptables basics by Prince Kenshi(linuxnewbies). Filtering packets with iptables by Joe Brockmeier. Using iptables by Joe Brockmeier Iptables connection tracking by James C. Stephens. Iptables - what is it by James C. Stephens. Netfilter Log Format by Unknown. How to use iptables by KrnlPanic Securing Linux Tutorial by weazyB. Netfilter tutorial by crhalpin. Mastering iptables by David Coulson. Part 1 of an introductory iptables tutorial by David Coulson. Part 2 of an introductory iptables tutorial by David Coulson. Kindly advise which of them is most relevant and simple in setup iptables including masq Thanks in advance. B.R. satimis

Have you already had a look at the HOWTOs on the subject? You proabably already have them installed on your PC (eg IP-Maquerading-HOWTO). If not the Linux Documentation Project is always a good place to start: www.tldp.org

Hi 3Dave, Thanks for your advice. $locate howto | grep ip-masqerading could not find it. I will search it at www.tldp.org B.R. satimis

$ locate -i howto | grep -i masqerading would probably work better. The -i does a case insensitive search, eg howto is often HOWTO. You should find one on tlpd.org though...

Hi 3Dave, Thanks for your advice. I still could not find it from my RH9 box. I found follows with google search; https://secure.linuxports.com/howto/IP-MASQ/ David Ranch http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html_single/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO.html v2.00.110903, 2003-11-09 <dranch@trinnet.net> tlpd.org/www.tlpd.org refers to something else.

http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html_single/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO.html ....was the one I was thinking about.

Hi 3Dave, Noted with thanks B.R. satimis
