And again i can't find the solution for a trivial task such as setting up my gentoo box as a simple router for my home LAN.
Ok here's my situation:
I'm running rp-pppoe on a gentoo box that shall act as router. Everything runs well, but the other boxes can't ping outside the LAN.
Somebody wrote in a forum that i need to execute the following command:
echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
I did that, without success.
Here's my routing table (the router LAN IP is 192.168.88.101):
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 217.5.98.87 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 192.168.88.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 loopback localhost 255.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 lo default 217.5.98.87 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0
My other boxes are configured well and shouldn't require any changes. If i boot the router with my SuSE system, everything works well. Each time i'm booting the router with my gentoo system, only the router can reach the internet (ping).
Maybe it's a kernel config problem again. I surfed thru' countless online guides, manuals, FAQs, without success. So, any ideas ?
