Okay, stock install of Fedora 3, need to know what I have to monkey with to enable NAT. I know enough of the theory and such to muddle along (learning as I go), but not enough of Linux in practice to know where to start poking. Any help?

What exactly do you want to do- make the box your gateway between your LAN and ISP, or a client?

The former. Got a basic Linksys pieceashit now, but I need to replace that.

You need to fiddle with IPTables. Easiest way is to get:
http://www.fs-security.com/ and run it to configure it for you (I believe there is a utility built into Fedora to do it, but as I do not use Fedora, *shrug*.

Thankee, I'll give it a look. There are distros designed for doing what I want to do, but they're very stripped down, and I need this for a couple other things, too.
