/* HINT: Search archives @ http://www.indyramp.com/masq/ before posting! /* ALSO: Don't quote this header. It makes you look lame :-) */ Thans Raf and Candor for replying, The firewall file did have 1 echoed to ip_forward, ip_always_defrag and ip_dynaddr files. The actual file: http://www.ithaca.edu/soria/rc-firewall.html I tried the echo 1 > .... comands with and without "1" quotes arround the 1, however none of these files get changed from the defaults of 0 to 1. Should I manually go in and change the files, or is there some other modification I need to do to my rc.firewall file, which I am not aware of. All I did to the rc.firewall file was to make it executable and modified the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file. Should I modify these files by hand? The win host does have as its default gateway the linux server (192.168.0.1).
