Configuring NAT with IPTABLES in Linux

Step-By-Step Configuration Guide for NAT with IPTABLES
This guide shows how to set up network-address-translation (NAT) on a Linux system with iptables so that the system can act as a gateway and provide internet access to multiple hosts on a local are network using a single public IP address. This is achieved by rewriting the source and/or destination addresses of IP packets as they pass through the NAT system.

Assuming that you have:
OS - Any Linux distribution
Software - Iptables
Network Interface Cards: 2

WAN = eth0 with public IP xx.xx.xx.xx (Replace xx.xx.xx.xx with your WAN IP)
LAN = eth1 with private IP yy.yy.yy.yy / 255.255.0.0 (Replace yy.yy.yy.yy with your LAN IP)
