Using what packet filter?
Generally, you should masq everything originating from the internal
network to the world, and disallow anything coming from the world that is
not related to anything originating from the internal network.
For iptables, see the netfilter-HOWTO, and the ipchains-HOWTO for
ipchains. Both are easily found on google.
