I am assuming that you mean a private network that can access the internet
via a linux masqerading gateway??

If this is true then it is fairly easy, just set up your local network as say
the 192.133.168.0 subnet and set the linux box as 192.133.168.1. Set up all
the other machines to use this as their default gateway (windows, linux, MacOS
etc). Then go to the masquerading FAQ (I can mail this to you if you aint got
it) and set up your masquerading firewall from their example file. This will
require a kernel recompile if you haven't compiled in firewalls and masquerading
already. (you need a 2.0.?? kernel at least)
