I don't remember the exact settings, will check when I get home, but you need the NAT options in the iptable settings, I don't remember if there is an extra ip-forwarding option (don't think so). You then need to set up a firewall with NAT support (you can use any of the firewall tools to do that). That should be enough, but you may need to also echo 1 into /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward. > > Thanks, > > Nick > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
