I am not sure what is going on now... I can ping yahoo with the wireless Windoze machine through the Linux Host that has WEP enable, but I get "Request time out" for the first ping. (Result are below) I still cannot surf the web with with windoze machine If I turn off WEP then I can ping without errors and surf the web. What is going on? With and without WEP I can ping the Linux Host AP without any problems. Other Information:Linux Host AP is a PIII 450 with 128Meg of Ram. Wireless card is a DLink 650 These are the command I used to set up the Masquarading
iptables -F iptables -F -t nat iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADEThis is the output from the ping request with the WEP Enabled. C:\>ping www.yahoo.com

I would add '-o eth0' to that in order to prevent masquerading in the other direction..

Hmm.. I was unable to duplicate this. Masquerading TCP packets from AP to Internet worked fine with and without WEP. Could you test whether TCP connections between client and AP hosts work? What about ping from client to Internet (of course with '-p TCP' removed from iptables line).
