I use linux as a firewall and as a router. But, If I may recall my three-months ago, I did not suceed with my ip_forward to just create the ip forwarding. All i wanted to do is to make a connection between 192.168.1.0 and 192.168.2.0. I have to use NAT for this. Did I do the right thing? Because all I know is I should not using NAT if I only wanted for routing packets On Sun, 22 Dec 2002, Chris Bice wrote: > first : echo "1" /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward "enables ip forwarding" > > second : iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE "enables nat" > thx .dave Psychoanalysis is that mental illness for which it regards itself a therapy. -- Karl Kraus Psychiatry is the care of the id by the odd.
