http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade ... index.html is a good starting point.

See the masquerade target in the iptables(8) man page. If memory serves correctly, you'll want to do something like:

Code: Select all

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

I have an ADSL connection too and I try to use this rule

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

It work but most of the web site are not accessible and the connection is a little slow.

Some people told me it was a MTU problem. I don't know if it's correct and if it is, how I can solve the problem?!?

I suggest you use this script, from the Documentation, Tricks and Tips section of this very own Gentoo forum. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=159133 . Thats what Ive used for my network, which has the exact configuration with yours. just follow the instructions, and you'll be ready in no time.
