Re: route setup and gateways

[<karlp ourldsfamily com>]

There are 3 things to do, 2 on the linux box and 1 on the clients:

1. Run this command, or put it in /etc/rc.d/rc.local:

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

2. set ipchains rules to allow packet forwarding as well:

/sbin/ipchains -P forward DENY
/sbin/ipchains -A forward -i ppp0 -j MASQ

3. On the other machines (probably Windows?) run the following DOS command:

echo route add 192.168.168.0 mask 255.255.255.255 209.208.12.44


That should make all of the others work just fine.
