Hi,
I made a new script file in "/etc/init.d" by the filename
rc.ipmasq with the following script in it -
#!/bin/sh
IPTABLES=/sbin/iptables
$IPTABLES -F -t nat
$IPTABLES -A POSTROUTING -t nat -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
-----
After this i ran the "insserv rc.ipmasq" command which gave no
errors but still NAT wont work, it shows no output in the command
"iptables -L -t nat" either. however it gives me this error msg
when i type this command:-
linux:~ # /etc/init.d/rc.ipmasq
/etc/init.d/rc.ipmasq: line 2: IPTABLES: command not found
/etc/init.d/rc.ipmasq: line 3: -F: command not found
/etc/init.d/rc.ipmasq: line 4: -A: command not found
I am unable to understand, why it wont accept this code.
Amit Ash.

The last two lines will not work. /etc/sysctl.conf does not
understand this
syntax (only the first of the lines you listed). Put the iptables
rules in a
separate script in /etc/init.d/ and create the symbolic links in
the
corresponding runlevel directories using insserv. A template for
the script
is /etc/init.d/skeleton.

Check the settings for the NAT table using
iptables -L -t nat
Just "iptables -L" will not show your NAT settings.
