James,

I found these two sites to be a really good read !
http://www.linux.org.au/LDP/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO/index.html
and
http://www.linux.org.au/LDP/HOWTO/Net-HOWTO/index.html

http://www.linux.org.au/LDP/HOWTO/ has the index of HOWTO's on
practically everything from DSL connection to running Linux on a laptop
with 4 megs of RAM.

HTH
