RE: Forward packets from one interface to another?

Your description is not very clear, but my guess is that you want to run a
bridge on this PC. "man brctl" is a good place to start.
Most distributions have an easy way to setup the bridge via the network
configuration files.

If you actually need to set your machine as a router that's a different
issue.

Regarding iptables, you will need rules on the FORWARD table to catch packet
travelling through the bridge.
