Sorry about that... I typed it wrong due to force of habbit. I
transposed the 1 & 0 in my response.

I'm not sure what happened, since I have no idea what Drakconf is or
what it does. What was the radio button that you had to select? Off the
top of my head, something that might have been wrong is a setting in
/proc/sys/net/ipv4. On a lot of distros that I have seen, even if you
have forward_ipv4=yes in your network file, you still need to `cat 1 >
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward` before any forwarding rules will work.
