Cable Modem and Routing

[Daniel Szalay <DSzalay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just had a cable modem installed. I would like to connect it to my Linux
Server (RH 7.0) and route my other PC's through it. I spent 4 hours last
night trying to set up routing with no luck. I could see the routes on the
server, but I could not ping the ISP from my PC. So...

1. Should I be routing or masquerading? 
2. Has anyone else tried this?
3. Why can't they count votes in Florida (oops, I digressed)

Thanks
Dan
