Hi

I have got squid working to allow http requests from a few machines on a
local network here.
That works fine.
However I want to get other services running too.
I want to set up mail clients and be able to ping from machines on the
internal ethernet.

I have been trying to use 'ipchains' to allow machines on my local
network to have their requests forwarded through the ppp0 interface on
my gateway but can't get it to work.

ip forwarding is on.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

"ipchains" is just for setting up firewall rules. This has
nothing to do with forwarding of network traffic.

You should go for a masquerading type of thing, which
translates network packtes from your internal network
to the official IP address of your Linux gateway so that
it can be sent to the internet, packets coming from the
internet will translated again from your Linux gateway
to your internal network.

Can you put all of that in the body?
