hi there bert,
afaik, to enable ip forwarding, you need a kernel with ip forwarding enabled,
AND "1" in the file /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
in other words, if the "echo 1 > ..." solution worked for you, it means that
your kernel was ALREADY compiled with ip forwarding enabled.
if you don't want to "echo 1 > ..." on every boot, you can set it in the file:
/etc/sysctl.conf (at least for redhat systems, that is)
