Yes. Something like: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE That will get you started, but you really need to read the iptables docs. Some people report great success and ease of use with the "ipmenu" package. Note that the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward says it's OK for the kernel to forward, it doesn't tell the kernel what to forward where. The iptables tells the kernel what to forward to where, but doesn't tell the kernel the overall question of is it OK to forward anything. Thats why you need both. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
