check out /etc/sysctl.conf there's probably a line in there like: net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0 change it to: net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 that should take care of it for you as long as redhat's /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit file is still in place (rc.sysinit is run at boot -- inside that file, "sysctl -e -p /etc/sysctl.conf" is run...).
