Kevin: You can forward with the command line:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward This will start forwarding and you can place this line in rc.local so on a reboot or a restart of network the ip forwarding will stay in place. This is on a RH 6.2 server but I believe the command line is the same for RH 7.2.

Re: Can't login and auto disconnect on Dial-in PPP Server ? Hi Eddie, Yes, it is working now ...... thanks a lot. I can connect to the server and get the IP address 10.0.01 in client PC after I deleted the 127.0.0.1 from /etc/hosts. But I got another problem ! I don't know how to set IP-Forwarding on RH7.2 and why I can't use the "netcfg" under Xwindow ? (p.s. I know there are button call IP Forwarding in "netcfg" on RH 7.0) Best Regards and Thanks Again !
