in addition to that, make sure that 'ip forwarding' is enabled on your machine. to check if it is enabled: cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward if it shows '1', you're ok. if it shows '0', then ip_forwarding is not enabled. to enable it temporarily, just type: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward and then check the 'cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward' command again - it should display '1'. to make sure ip forwarding is enabled after the next reboot, you need to get this operation done every boot. if you have a file '/etc/sysctl.conf', edit this file (VERY carefully, and after making a backup copy first), locate the line stating 'net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0', and cange the '0' to '1'. if there is no such line, add it, like this: # Controls IP packet forwarding net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 (the first line with the '#', is a comment). -- guy "For world domination - press 1, or dial 0, and please hold, for the creator." -- nob o. dy -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Haifa Linux Club Mailing List (http://www.haifux.org) To unsub send an empty message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
