Configuring Internet server


Hi Guys
I have my SUSE11 box and i want it to act as an internet server, i dont want to use Squid, i just need for the clients to connect directly to the internet.
How do i go about that?
Thanks

I think you probably mean router, not server. A server would be 'serving' up stuff to the clients, like web pages, ftp etc. What I think you want is a router, which allows multiple 'client' machines (on an internal lan) to connect through the router to the internet. Basically you need to enable forwarding on the router machine and set up masquerading with iptables. This link should get you started, but there's hundreds of howtos around.
