That's strange. Our Linux gateway box happily caters to all that to the LAN
users. In fact, I'd be dead in the water while on IRC to
irc.linux.com/#linuxhelp if this wouldn't work (config file xfer,
handholding, etc.).

Hmmm, my /etc/rc.local loads the following on boot (note - Kernel 2.2.11 on
RHL 6.0pcq):

/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_autofw.o
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_cuseeme.o
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_ftp.o
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_irc.o
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_mfw.o
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_portfw.o
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_quake.o
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_raudio.o
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_user.o
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_vdolive.o
/sbin/insmod /usr/local/sbin/modules/ip_masq_icq.o

(Note that the last one is *not* part of RHL - it is a separate module that
enabled ICQ usage via IP Masquerading - you can get it from
http://freshmeat.net/appindex/1999/02/14/919020210.html)

Try loading the modules in the list above and see if it works. If I recall
right, you use Debian, so the actual loading process may be different.
