The good news is that I can ping the world now from the router. Every time I think I saved my config. and I reboot it was not actually saved. The only hurdle I have now is to see the internet from my machine behind the firewall. that machine do ping to the etho network card but cant ping after that. at boot time I loaded 2 modules: ip_masq_portfw.o and ip_masq_autofw.o I thought that will do it but I still can get to internet from behind the Fw.
One more question that keeps bugging is the following. I made an 1.68 image that is self contained and a 1.44 ima as well. Everytime I boot from the cd and I make a change if I tried to back up the changes on the 1440 image it complains. so I do backup the change on the 1.68 ima. they do update fine. but when I am trying to boot from the cd and the 1.68 image (the one containing the changes) is in it the floppy disk drive, it give me an error and requires that I mount instead the 1.440 floppy which has no back up.
