Thank you, Sindi, 

I would actually prefer to use ipchains instead of iptables and not 
to get too close tothe documentation for kernel compilation. 

Unfortunately your scripts do not yet work on my system. I would like 
to know on what kind of system they were running for you: 

 echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
 ipchains -P forward DENY
 ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQ
    
I will study ipchains documentation and do some more tests in the 
next days. 

Christof
