I am sorry to repost this request, but I have still not managed to turn on forwarding in Mandrake SNF (original description follows). I do know a little more. I have managed to install a different firewalling distro - smoothwall (www.smoothwall.org), so I do know that the problem is not due to some HP proprietary hardware weirdness. How would I turn on forwarding, manually, in SNF? Thank you again.
