HI Yan,
I'm having a little trouble following the thread (there is no indication when 
the senter changes, not sure why).
The machines on the wireless network should have the default gateway of 
10.1.10.1, while the machines on LAN including the linux box/router, should 
have 10.0.0.1 as the gateway.

>From your last post, it looks like the you can ping from a machine on the WLAN 
through the linux box to it's LAN nic. Is that correct?

Can you ping the 10.0.0.1 gateway from the linux box?

Can you ping anything else in the LAN from the WLAN?

Can the LAN machines ping the WLAN machines?

Does 'cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward' on the linux box still show "1"?
