Need updated Masquerade info.

The Masquerade Simple Howto contains the following line:

$> iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j SNAT --to 123.12.23.43

Two questions:

#1: The my version of iptables 1.2.11 doesn't like --to. What name
should I use instead?

#2: How do I determine exactly what address is used after this option?
I am on a DHCPCD connection. Is it the address of the remote machine or
the address assigned to me by the remote machine? Or should I just use
the word MASQUERADE as in a dial-up connection?

I had my masquerade working once but now it doesn't work any more.

My ISP is Adelphia, if that helps.

Stumbling around, I tried the -j MASQUERADE parameter and everything
started working again.

The HOWTO could use an update.
