Hello,
a lot of guys have already suggested doing the
echo 1>/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
thing, and it did work; problem was, this solution
didn't really sit well with me for some reason, so i
ended up recompiling my kernel with ip forwarding
enabled. Then again, i'm a kernel-compile junkie -- it
just gives me a certain satisfaction that my cpu's
working hard, and that i'm getting my money's worth
B).
