[lug] linux router project

[Gordon J. Holtslander]

Hi:

Thanks,  I got it working on my own.  Funny how trying to describe a
problem to someone else forces one to think through it carefully.  I had
the router IP set on the client machine wrong.  I was also getting so
many Martian error messages that I wasn't able to configure anything. 
They were overloading the logs.

I disconnected the external network card to stop the error messages,
edited /etc/network.conf to disable logging of martian errors and
reconnected the card. Once that was done I could read the configuration
files properly.

By the way I am using the LRP from Charles Steinkuehler's LRP Website
with the image from:
