	The following is the command that allows my workstations' browsers to
pass thru my firewall machine.  $PRIVATENET is my home 192.168.x.x
subnet and $ANY is the outside internet 0.0.0.0

# Masquerade packets forwarded from internal network
/sbin/ipchains -A forward -s $PRIVATENET -d $ANY -j MASQ

	A firewall is just more ipchains commands to selectively make ports
accessible to and from the outside world.
