Re: Re: RH6.0 upgrade to RH6.2 problems

Dear Art,

It seems that something wrong with your ipchains.Perhaps you didn't enable ip-forwarding of your kernel.To confirm,type 'cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward'.If the value is '1' then it's enabled.Otherwize,you should type ' echo 1  > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward '.If your want this to be done  automatically when booting,write a script and place it in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ with a link in /etc/rc.d/init.d/rc3.d/ to the script.

Good Luck!

Yours
Grimalkin
