Sounds more like NAT- Network Address Translation rather than ip spoofing is
the correct term.

This allows me to have multiple computers on my local net access the internet thru 1 internet connection with only 1 valid IP address. What happens is the Linux computer changes the source address to that of the valid IP address and when the response comes back, Linux then passes the data back to the requesting local computer. This process is not using any proxy's and I have full TCP/IP capability from all local computers. I guess this may be what some call IP Spoofing. This process is very usefull for we all heard that there may be a shortage of IP Address. This will solve the problem or at least cut down on the requests for additional Address from the NIC.

The IP Masquerading process is part of the Linux kernel and I am hoping that a kernel modification can be done to NT if this process is not already there. This can be a HUGE Plus for NT if Microsoft can do it.
