We have gone live with the SWGFL 2MB connection which means that my
of not getting my Linux machine to work have been compounded. Interestingly enough the proxy that they are using is running squid but I can't seem to get my machine working. I know it is probably not desirable, but is it
to use the one eth card as the link between the SWGFL network (i.e. their proxy and DNS) and my internal network? I currently have Win 2000 running with WinProxy and it has 2 IP addresses and runs quite happily as the school's proxy between the two systems. I am not managing it with Linux perhaps due to my lack of network skills. I have set eth0 with 2 IP addresses but in the rc.conf file it shows them as IP0 and IP4. Will this work? If I masquerade, do I need 2 cards? Do I need to set my host machine on

Two cards are preferrable for security. range of references. Sorry about one of these being on SuSE. See http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/tips/firewall/firewallservice.html for a basic introduction. Then go on to http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~dranch/LINUX/index-linux.html which red hat refer to. http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~dranch/LINUX/TrinityOS/cHTML/TrinityOS-c-10.ht ml has even more detail and includes ideas for a single card masquerade setup.Since David Ranch is the author of the masquerading how-to, this seems a reasonable place to start.
