I have linux red hat 7.2
I have set up my linux computer to act as a router for my Windows comptuers to access the internet.

I would like to be able to host a game server from one of my Windows computers.
So I need to know how to make my linux server a NAT router.
There is a OS called smoothwall which does this, but I would prefer to use linux.
Can any one help me???

and decides fate of that packet ie to drop or to allow the packets to go.one can configure nat in iptables.
