I have a box running RedHat 9. In it, it has my wifi card (connecting to router for internet) and the ethernet card that connects to my main Windows box.

I want to use the Linux box as a webserver as well as an internet gateway for my main box.

I have been looking at numerous different ways of creating a gateway, but am not sure which one to use. Because the Linux box will be used as a webserver and nothing much else, I want a way to set it to forward all ports to my main box except for the web port (80).

Which is the best method for doing this?

Iptables can do all of your port forwarding needs. You want to read the masquerading how-to, and the iptables how-to. It is not as hard as it sometimes seems. Below are two google searches to get you started. If you get stuck post the rule that is broken and we can help get it working.

I've read through both those guides, but still don't have a clue



Perhaps someone could write me the script I need?

Incoming requests for port 80 to my WAN interface go to the Linux box (127.0.0.1?)
Incoming requests for every other port to my WAN interface go to 192.168.0.2

Also, once this is configured do I just put in my Linux box as the gateway IP in Windows or do I have to do anything else to make Linux share the connection?
