Own IP

Hello.

I have a linux router (FloppyFW) and he has on internet his own IP-adress (62.131.154.*) It's not variable but if someone will hack me...

The router internal has IP : 192.168.1.1
Now I have 4 computers connected on it (192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.5 )
My internet works fine. But I will forward another IP-adress to my 192.168.1.3 Is this possible ?
Someone has tell me more about it, but it's for me abracadabra.

I hope someone has a answer. Thnx.

For an internal 192.168.1.* address to communicate with an external address on the Internet, you will need to have a program performing Network Address Translation(NAT).

This process is also known as IPMASQ on Linux and is usually performed by the IPTABLES in kernel 2.4.x and IPCHAINS in earlier versions.

Please take a look at http://www.e-infomax.com/ipmasq/

That site has all the documentation you need to set up IPMASQ for whatever kernel version you are running.
