Your interface config looks fine to me and the forwarding settings look good too. I suspect that you don't have a default gateway set on your client PC's. It should be 10.0.0.254. Also, can sumida ping the world? I suspect yes since you have the correct default gateway set. jc -- Jeff Coppock Systems Engineer Diggin' Debian Admin and User -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
