This seems weird... :-(
What does it say when you try "cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward"?
If that doesn't give any error, then you must be able to
"echo 1 >/proc/.../ip_forward" as root.
If it does give an error, Check that the file exists (ls -l
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward) and that the kernel has everything he
needs. Maybe you have to build a new kernel, but I doubt that this is the
case. There must be another problem. I don't know which one. :-(
If the ip_forward file doesn't exist, build a new kernel (following what
they say in the HOWTO).
If it does exist, I'm out of ideas. Post your question on the expert list,
or another mailing list about ipchains.
