man iptables

Yep, iptables should do the job nicely. I use it myself. If you search the Gentoo forums with the same username as mine, you should find the commands to make it share. forums.gentoo.org if you need the link.

Post back if you need more help.

In order to have traffic route between your 2 interfaces -- I assume that is what you mean by "share" -- you will also need to execute the following:

Code:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

(That is if I have tracked down the right item on my MEPIS 3.3.2 box, kernel 2.6.12-586tsc.)
