I´m having trouble making a server with slackware...

OK... I know what I want, but I dunno how to say.
I have a internet connection (1MB LINK) going into my server (Slackware) into my eth0 card and I want to "foward" this internet connection to a router/hub/acces point/switch/pc using my eth1 card.

How the heck do I configure this?
What´s the name of the thing I´m trying to do?
And is it possible to control how many Kb/s the pcs in the network are getting from my linux??

ty,
johnny

This may be called NAT (Networ Access Transition) or IP-Masquerade. There is a howto in your /usr/doc/Linux-HOWTOs
It is possible to control the bandwith that you provide. For that you neet the iproute2 packet and cbq-init or htb-init scripts. And a kernell compiled with support for CBQ/HTB.
