Hi, is it possible to have a router give out internet to 4 PCs, then have one of those PCs with two network cards give internet to a 5th PC? I tried doing this (PC with 2 cards has Slackware 9 and the PC it gets inet from has Gentoo 1.4rc2 Linux) but it didn't work...the Gentoo box got an IP and was network-accessible, but not internet capable.
Is there some port on the router I need to forward?

thanks!

You need to checkout NAT [network address translation] You can have multiple ip addresses use one correct internet ip address. It's like proxy but better.
