[lug] @Home - A QUICK QUESTION.

[Bonnell, Doug]

There are two things you need to do:

     1. Verify that routing is indeed enabled. Look at
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward. It
         must have a nonzero value for forwarding to be enabled. If you
check the BLUG
         archives, you will find a posting that I did that tells of a
scripting problem in
         Redhat 6.2 that doesn't enable forwarding properly. This MIGHT be a
"feature"
         of 6.1 as well.

     2. You must do ipchains also. I don't remember the exact syntax, but it
will be
         similar to this:

         ipchains -A  -i eth0 -s eth1 -j MASQ

         where eth0 is NIC #1 and eth1 is NIC#2.

Hope this helps,
Doug Bonnell
