An alternative solution would be:

iptables -t nat -F POSTROUTING
iptables -t nat -F PREROUTING
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -s 192.168.2.0/24 -j SNAT \ 
         --to-source <your.public.ip.address>

for incoming connections you could do some portforwarding:

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -d <your.public.ip.address> \ 
         -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-dest <ip.address.of.domU>
