Changing iptables rules

[Clive DaSilva]

Hello all

I am working with a new distro (Mandrake 9.1) trying desperately to 
change the default iptables ruleset to allow ip_masquerade so my wife 
and daghter can simultaneously surf on a Win98 box attached to my small 
network. Are any of you aware of a URL which advises as to how to do 
this ?  On my Slackware 7.1 setup, my iptables rules consisted of 
perhaps five lines which enabled the ip_masquerade process, but the 
iptables rule set here is quite long. I was considering writing a script 
which I could enable at bootup which deleted all the generic iptables 
rules created by the Mandrake install, and then just add the five lines 
which I used to get ip_masq running on my old config.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Clive
