That should still work, altho in recent versions i think the syntax changed
somewhat.

You need to take a look at the Changes file situated in
/usr/src/linux/Documentation, however IP_FORWARDING is now defined in the
sysctl interface /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward 0 is default which is off.
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
Will turn it on.
Another thing to consider is with recent 2.2.x kernels you will need to
upgrade your net-tools. That is also explaned in the Changes file.
