Hello everyone, i have desided to convert my server to ubuntu server. For years i have been running opensuse but I like the fact that ubuntu tends to work better with vbox and it pretty universal, but it has given me a lot of snags and I have been logged in ssh for over a day try to get it to behave the way I'd like. I have the internet coming in on a static ip (eth1)"74.*.*.*" and need to route it to a static network of (eth0)192.*.*.*. I do not want dchp I configured the network manually and the internal networks well as the internet connection. example is i can log in the main server with ssh and log into a box behind the server with ssh subnet gateway ips dns are all configured right but I can't get this box to route and port forward to a box inside.
any help with how I'd do this with the ip route or route command would be appreciated.
Goal
route 74.*.*.* on eth1 to 192.*.*.* to eth0/ port 8000 to 80 0n a internal box.
Thank you to anyone who responds I have been all over the internet and i have not found a explanation that didn't make it more confusing.

What you are looking for is NAT.

In this example, it needs to be done BEFORE routing happens.

Route doesnt do NAT'ing, use whatever firewall you have running on your gateway to do it.

Sorry if I was unclear or used the terms incorrectly, Yes I would like to set up my ubuntu box as a router that uses NAT. By definition Nat is "In computer networking, network address translation (NAT) is the process of modifying IP address information in IP packet headers while in transit across a traffic routing device." --http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_address_translation. So my server is the routing device sorry I was unclear but I didn't think to state that because the ip ranges are different making it noticeable that the networks are not bridged are not on the same network and use a private ip range starting with 192 used my Microsoft Windows ICS and most companies the produce routing devices the Have firewall, nat and a cute built in switch linksys,breklin...I never used ubuntu(or any debian based distros) in this way and was wondering if someone could help me with the configuration with the firewall in terms port forwarding, and Network Address Translation(NAT). So If i log in elevate my privileges can someone help me with configuring it? Who knows? I mean has a real answer?
Thank You to anyone that responds.

People cant help, if you dont ask the right questions.

iptables is the most common firewall/NAT application out of the box with linux distrobutions. Debian based distro's included.

The link below sounds like it would be of benefit to you.

You will probably want a rule, similar to.
(as indicated by your "goal" although earlier in the post you mention ssh, which shouldn't be running on port 80)

thanks but I have to say...
fukawil about your "ASCII stupid question, get a stupid ANSI", ignorance is not the same as stupidity, the only time ignorance is the same as stupidity is when the ignorant person thinks they are so smart to be rude to someone else and show there ignorance with confidence that they know the true answer when they don't. You didn't give one answer, someone who knew the answer would probably say i think you miss typed your question but I think this is what you meant here is what i think. Oh sorry you gave 1/8 of one.
thanks for the link I have been trying to get down the ufw I'll find out somewhere else.

PS(as indicated by your "goal" although earlier in the post you mention ssh, which shouldn't be running on port 80) ssh runs on port 22 I am forwarding to apache2 and ssh example was to show that the internal network is functional to narrow down where the problems"
Here's one for you, sence your so in to ascii "1010101101000010000010110011001111101010110100101010011" It's binary I'm not sure it might mean something
