hello, setting linux up as a gateway is very very easy... i assume that you have already configured the connections? if you are on a dial-up modem you will need a dial-up modem and a network card. if you have a service such as cable or dsl, you need two network cards... configure all that and then the routing is the fun part http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif go to these links and that should be all you need...
