Hello.
I've been unsuccessful at getting IP Masquerading to work with SuSE 6.2.
With Redhat 5.2, it was a cinch.
The problem seems to lie with my inability to activate IP Forwarding.
I've followed the instructions in the IP Masquerade HOW-TO and tried to
activate IP Forwarding by typing the following command in the terminal:
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward.
After issueing the above command, I used vi to check the contents of the
above file. And it contained "1".
Then, made some changes in /etc/rc.config:
MSQ_START = "yes'
MSQ_NETWORKS = abc.def.ghi.0/24
where abc.def.ghi is the address of a class c sub-net.
Upon reboot, I get an error message stating the masquerade failed because
IP Forwarding was not enabled.
I would appreciate any advice on how to get IP Masquerading working with
SuSE 6.2.
