You cross-posted this into too many mailing lists. I saw it in linux-net, so that's where I am sending my reply to.

If the network with your client's lan is on eth1 and the other lan on eth0, then do it like this: ipchains -I forward -i eth0 -j MASQ That will masquerade (nat) _everything_ being _forwarded_ to the eth0 interface as coming from that box (your laptop). If you don't want everything masqueraded, then make the rule more specific, like this: ipchains -I forward -i eth0 -j MASQ -s 192.168.200.0/24 which will only masquerade packets with a 192.168.200.0/24 source address. Easy, no? :-) Oh, 2.4.x kernel? Then "modprobe ipchains" before you do this. Or, alternatively, "modprobe ip_tables" and use similar rules with /sbin/iptables to achieve the same thing.
