Hey Brian,
You DON'T need to run MASQing on the Linux box to be a
default GW for the NT machines. All you need to do is enable
IP forwarding with IPFWADM.
Since you aren't using a strong ruleset, just use:
/sbin/ipfwadm -F -p allow
>So basically it's masquerading for machines that have real IPs.
Well. that really isn't true. You are improperly fowarding
them.
Anyway.. if you have the chance to go out there next time,
I'd recommend to setup DHCP on the Linux box (very easy to do)
and enable DHCP on the NT workstations. Then.. your life
will get MUCH easier!
