Hi, I've managed to make my XP laptop and my bering laptop talk together but. I have a little question How to configure bering as a simple router without nat, packet filter... (just forwarding everything between eth0 ( wire lan) and eth1 (wireless) I know that I should put some MAC address filtering but "let's try to walk before run"
