    I have the following configuration:

    T1 Line with the ip addresses 123.123.123.144-159 SN 255.255.255.240

    It has a router at 123.123.123.145. I have a RH 9 box with three
    network cards that I would like to setup as follows

    123.123.123.146 - eth0 Internet (public ip)
    192.168.1.1 - eth1 NAT (private ip with NAT)
    ???.???.???.??? - eth2 Bridge from internet (I don't know if this card
    needs an IP address or not)

    eth0 will be directly connected to the router, eth1 will be connected to
    switch1 and eth2 will be connected to switch2. I would like this box to
    bridge between eth0 and eth2, and NAT between eth0 and eth1. I am just
    a little confused about how to configure this. I would also like to
    setup a firewall on this machine to protect the computers on the other
    side of the bridge.

    It seems that all of the websites that discuss this setup were last
    updated in 1996 an use kernel versions 2.0.X with ipchains. Any help or
    updated websites would be much appreciated.

    Thanks
