How do I route inside my network?
Forwarding does't happen. I'm doing this because I want to filter the traffic between the internet and my other computers, because they have real internet addresses. Please help!

read up on iptables, this is the userspace program that interfaces with the kernel to make exactly what you are talking about happen.

Yes, I know about iptables, and I know how to set up a firewall with it, the problem is that I want to use it as a filter between the internet and my network with real addreses, but my Linux box doesn't want to forward packets between them and I don't know why, because if I setup masquerading it works well.

read more, iptables does more than just firewall. You can use it to do what you are talking about with the FORWARD chain. Yes, I did this exact thing at work about a year ago, but don't have access to those machines any more.

This doesn't have to be configured with iptables. Just make sure that the FORWARD table ACCEPT as it's policy. Have you set the router up as the default gateway for all the machines on the network?
