Recently I setup a linux box in a home to share the internet connection with 
the rest of the computers and also to provide filtering for the family via 
squid and dansguardian.  I originally set up the server at my place which is 
getting to the internet via a comcast cable modem.  It worked great at my 
place.  However the house that I installed it at has MSN as their ISP and 
when I try to set up NAT behind the MSN router it just doesn't forward 
packets or at least DNS requests.  I solved half of the problem by installing 
a DNS proxy server on the NAT box so now the windoze computers behind the box 
can get out and do everything that they need to.  However the Macintosh 
computers still don't resolve host names.  I am not a networking genius but I 
have set up several similar networks and never have I had a problem like this 
one.  Does anybody have any suggestions?

P.S. I thought that possibly forwarding packets between subnets could cause 
problems?  192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0 to 192.168.1.2/255.255.255.252
