I am setting Ubuntu 8.10LTs server first time, but i can access internet on server. I want to set server as a router.
Hello, I believe you want to setup something like this: http://www.howtoforge.com/nat-gateway-iptables-port-forwarding-dns-and-dhcp-setup-ubuntu-8.10-server Take a look at this howto and you should be good to go. However, I don't think that setting up server as router is directly associated with ISPConfig somehow. Or are you using ISPConfig on the same server?
