the internet connection is from
<http://usa.asus.com/products/communication/wireless/wl-330g/overview.htm>
into eth0 and a hub is plugged into eth1, then a linksys PAP2
<http://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp?prid=651&scid=38> into the
hub.
I think all I need is the masquerading..? but, I'd first like to test
the hardware with pings, or something.

according to the box:
wisecom 8 port 10 base-T hub
compliant with 10base-t, 10BASE2 and 10BASE5 specifications of the
IEEE 802.3 standard.
and, it's an ethernet HUB for WorkGroup
I think it's a switch, definitely not a router.

the PAP2 is plugged into the hub. the hub is plugged into eth1.

I'll check /var/log/messages, thanks.

this I haven't yet done.

the hub just has two connections. one to the computer, one to the
PAP2. I need to find out how the allocate IP addresses.

I know it's basic, but it's not something I know about yet.
