Others have given the URLs, but I just want to clarify this point -- 
You'll have to learn about masquerading, not just forwarding, because 
your ISP will give you only *one* IP number. (You might be able to 
arrange otherwise with your ISP, but if so you'll almost certainly have 
to pay extra.) However, if you use SLiRP to provide yourself with a 
pseudo-IP, then IP forwarding will suffice. :-)
