The method I use to NAT from a private subnet to a public IP is to use an LRP (Linux Router Project) derived boot disk. The best place I know of to get these is at http://leaf.sourceforge.net . I don't know if they have wireless support or not, though. The one I use for my network is called Oxygen, and it works very well.

We have a student housing building that has about 40 students. We have been wanting to wire the building but the cost has always stopped us ($40000). I have been playing with the idea of using 5 or 6 Cisco aironet 350 access points and have the students purchase a PCI wireless card for their machine. For our Internet connection we are in the process of contacting Qwest for a business line. At this time I do not know at the details for a Internet connection. Mainly how many IP's we would get, cost, bandwidth, etc. Knowing all of that - How can a person setup a machine linux running to act as a NAT (???)/DHCP server when you have only been assigned anywhere from one to six IP's addresses? How does one tackles such a situation? Or better yet which HOW-TO's to I read?
