[LARTC] Simplest Routing Question EVER

[Fei Lung fei@cometway.com]

<PRE>My Windows box does have a publicly routable IP address.  Actually,
I have a /24 subnet and I aws just using the windows box to test 
with before I take the network down to install the machine as a router.
In the future, after I get this working, I will add a DSL line 
to it, but first, I need to get the forwarding working.

Thanks,
Fei Lung
