Go to /usr/src/linux and run make menuconfig. Under
networking somewhere there are items that deal with
routing.

Hello everyone,
And again i can't find the solution for a trivial task
such as
setting up my gentoo box as a simple router for my home
LAN.
Ok here's my situation:
I'm running rp-pppoe on a gentoo box that shall act as
router.
Everything runs well, but the other boxes can't ping
outside the LAN.
Somebody wrote in a forum that i need to execute the
following
command:
echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
I did that, without success.
Here's my routing table (the router LAN IP is
192.168.88.101):
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags
Metric Ref Use Iface
217.5.98.87 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0
0 0 ppp0
192.168.88.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0
0 0 eth0
loopback localhost 255.0.0.0 UG 0
0 0 lo
default 217.5.98.87 0.0.0.0 UG 0
0 0 ppp0
My other boxes are configured well and shouldn't require
any changes. If i boot
the router with my SuSE system, everything works well.
Each time i'm booting
the router with my gentoo system, only the router can
reach the internet (ping).
Maybe it's a kernel config problem again. I surfed thru'
countless online guides,
manuals, FAQs, without success. So, any ideas ?
