Ooops .. Sorry, i havent read the entire email sent to the list by Bobic. My mistake. Bobic having the problem similar to what i got with one of my server running kernel-2.4.20. All the interface i have are under the same brand (Realtek), eth0 would be for clients, eth1 for DSLCable, eth2 for Wireless 2.4Ghz. Weirdly, several of my clients set up correctly to use both eth1 and eth2, but there are many clients having the wrong route packets just as Bobic. This problem can be solved if i change to use SNAT instead of MASQUERADE. Try it Bobic. This Masquerade problem didnt appeared under my Linux 2.4.21 Regards, Rio Martin.
