I have a computer w/ RH 6.0 at home which forwards stuff from my win98 box (*cringe*, yes, I know) to the internet. I use ipchains as well, which transfers everything from 10.0.0.1/24 so I can hook up quite a lot more computers, which is nice for when I got friends over :P
Everyone on the internet sees the ip address of the server, though if they try to resolve usernames they get things like: @(ip address). It works fine with things like ICQ, AIM, ftp and almost everything.
The only exception I have found so far is the game Baldur's gate, which won't work over the internet. It works fine on the internal network, but try to connect outside and it just doesn't do squat. I should probably test this with Diablo as well, see if that works.
Oh well, my opinion is that Ipchains works fine.
