hi ya richard...

is your ipmasq gateway to the outside world the same as your firewall ??

- if you know ipchains  better than iptables, you can run ipchains 
  on 2.4 kernels by installing "ipchains" modules in the 2.4 kernels
        insmod ipchains
        ipchains -L

- several dozen config tools .... mostly for ipchains.. some for
  iptables..

- the infamous 3-line ( simplest ) masquerade

        # add this to the example  for 2.4 kernels for testing
        insmod ipchains
        #
        ipchains -P forward DENY
        ipchains -A forward -i ppp0 -j MASQ
        echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

        - change ppp0 to eth0...
        - see it allows your inside machines out..

- next step...
        - egress filtering
        - ingress filtering
        - port forwarding, natting
        - .... lots of work to keep one occupied for a month
