The box talks fine to both interfaces. The problem is that I am trying to forward packets between the interfaces. I have tried with the sysctl setting in sysconfig. I have built a kernel with GATEWAY option. I have tried IP Firewall with an "allow any to any" rule and a more restrictive ruleset. The firewall works but it won't forward trafic. I am aiming at a filtering router, but at the moment it is too secure. I have searched the FAQ and Handbook but didn't find anything new. I did find some similar problems in mailing list archives but I didn't find any useful replies. The solution could be something simple I have overlooked. I know a bit about Unix but I don't have much experience at administration. If you can help me then please drop me a note. Thanks Petri -- Petri.Riihikallio@hut.fi
