So basically on one of my Slack boxes I have the Internet coming through the router via ethernet which is plugged into eth0.

How can I share the Internet connection so that when I connect a computer using crossover cable to eth1 it will be able to use a shared internet connection from the router which is plugged into eth0?

Google for "Gentoo Home Router Guide". Very well written, and will obviously work in any Linux distro since it uses iptables. ;)

Thanks, that's useful documentation.
