LARTC - May 2004 - help setting up router

Hi,  my name is Calin and I''m new to linux, but I guess its the right
place to ask this:

what do I set on  a linux RH9 box with 2.4.24 kernel to route a 10 machine
private network (192.168.x.x) by 3 limited bandwidth, public IPs (193.231.x.x).
The network uses a switch, the linux box has 1 ethernet card, the link is
available trough a wireles ethernet bridge from my ISP.

I begun to read routing and IP howtos. I thing that  I need some virtual
ethernet adapters and SNAT routing.

It sounds like you want to use NAT.  Stick another NIC in your Linux box and 
configure it as your gateway.  All of that is rather simple.  I''d
suggest
these documents:

http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net/iptables-tutorial.html
http://www.linux-ip.net/html/

If you want to load balance across your three public IPs or do traffic shaping 
across the wireless link, that''s more ARTC.
