Kevin: I guess you saw by now the various responses we have had to IP forwarding. And yes the suggestions to change the /etc/sysctl.conf is the way to allow IP forwarding. You set the net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 which it looks like you already have to begin with. I have used both ways with RH 6.2 and both work on several machines I have set up. But in the end I always set that parameter to = 1. You caught me after a 13 hour hitch of work and I could not think of the file that this was located in. Ok you already had that set. Can you describe to me how you are connecting with your server? Seems to be a 56K modem which you are having line speed problems. After you connect I assume you have one box connected via lan to your RH 7.2 server which is a windoze machine? You can ping both ways with no problem? The modem connection issue is usually always one of line problems. First how many phones are on this same line? Are there any phones that are wireless, as they can affect line speed. Have you tried connecting with a different modem to see if connect speeds are any better. I assume your ISP supports 56k or V.90. You may want to check as most I have seen support V.90 but will not support the older X2 that US robotics used to have. I connect at about 37000 to 38000 and am connecting with a USR V.90 external sportster. I use this line for that only. Also line speed can be affected by poor or old wiring. I have seen it all out here while I was supplying internet access for 4 years to modem users. Back to your network it looks like you have assigned 192.168.13.222 to the server and 192.168.13.223 to the client. You say there is no problem. Does that mean you are IP forwarding with this setup? If so why do you want to assign a different range of IP addresses to this client?
A suggestion that one person offered which is one that I wanted to offer you today after work was to setup a firewall like firestarter which is available from souceforge.net. This X window configured firewall will take care of your IP forwarding and all the little extras through a little setup wizard that makes this all much easier. I would highly recommend it. Let me know how you do, Eddie Strohmier -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Kevin Chan Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2002 2:36 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Please help ! Anyone can teach me how to set IP Forwarding in RH 7.2 ? Hi Eddie, I was tried your way, but seem like don't work or may be I did a wrong thing. The problem is client side can't browse Intereting when I assign a different range of IP (10.0.0.1) to them (p.s. Server IP Address is 192.168.13.222). If I change the IP (192.168.13.223) for client, they haven't any problem at all. So I think there is something need to do on IP forwarding. Do you know what I can do to solve this problem, also can you teach me how to set the connecting speed to 56000 (now only can connect to 21600, but both modem can support to 56K) ? Thanks again !
