 Search through either gentoo-wiki or gentoo.org. IIRC there are step by
 step instructions on doing this.

Great, thanks.  For anyone else looking, I found one at

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/home-router-howto.xml

Seems my earlier google didn't turn this one up high on the list.  I'm
still struggling with some NAT issues, but looks like I'm not too far.
Thanks again,

Mike

[gentoo-user] linux router setup - howto?

2006-07-06 Thread Mike Markowski
Can anyone point me to a howto or advice for the following?

On my gentoo box I have:

   - ppp dialup link to the internet (rural living is not very
 broadband friendly yet)

   - wireless access point on the ethernet interface

I'd like to use this box as a router so that any wireless traffic
through the WAP is routed appropriately between ppp0 and eth0.

I selected Advanced Routing in the kernel (2.6.17-r1), and have /proc fs
and sysctl support.  I also turned on forwarding using

   echo 1  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

What more needs doing?

Thanks!
Mike
