What should be forwarded from where?
Does FORWARDing only work with a router between the machines in
question?
No, but it only works when YOU act as a router for something going from
somewhere to somewhere else via you.
If not, how can I get it to work? I see the packets coming into the
box(ethereal)
but none going out.
Does it work if you don't load any iptables rules?
If not your basic networking is not properly set up/configured.
If it works without iptables then your iptables ruleset is not properly
constructed, most likely dropping the traffic.
