I'd try first with iptables filters *disabled*, to make sure it's not a firewall issue. Once it works, enable packet filtering (if you need it). But until you are sure it works, make sure nothing prevents traffic flow, so disable iptables filters. > I found there is a warning message after emerge iptables says: ip > forwarding is not included in iptables any more. what does it mean? is > that related with the issue? It means that, if you want ip forwarding, you have to enable it manually using the command echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward To verify that forwarding is working, simply do cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward and it should print "1". Keep in mind that if you reboot, you have to re-enable forwarding if you want it again. Finally, run a network analyzer like wireshark and see for yourself what's happening. I'd look at ARP packets first: make sure ARP is working correctly. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
