LARTC - Feb 2006 - can all internet traffic be directed thru 1 computer on a Router?

Hello al,
Is it possible [indeed is this the right place] to add  iptables  to force 
all internet traffic to go thru a particular computer on a LAN?
I have a 4 port Router/modem that contains a Busybox v0.61 Linux system. I 
am able to add entries to the iptables tho'' I don''t really
know what it does
yet. I want to be able to use Ethereal on this one computer to check what 
web pages my children are visiting - being fairly strict I don''t want
them
visiting some of the more perverse sites.
A friend told me this is possible.
Can anyone help please.

Ian,

Let me try to understand.

You have a local network were you have many computers that have access to
the internet. They all go through one modem/router. So now you want to put a
gateway server betwen your LAN and the outside world so you can manage the
traffic?

It course can be done. If there is anything else you can serve us to make an
analisys.
