Hi Steve, Thank you for your reply. I have done # echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
Unfortunately it does not solve the problem, when I am pinging the router (192.168.0.1) from the dial-in box (192.168.0.177) I am getting the message: >From 192.168.0.178: Destination host unreachable #netstat -nr on the dial-in server (192.168.0.177): Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Iface 192.168.0.178 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH ppp0 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0. 255.0.0.0 U lo 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG eth0 ifconfig on the dial-in server (192.168.0.177): eth0 inet addr: 192.168.0.177 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 ppp0 inet addr: 192.168.0.177 P-t-P:192.168.0.178 Mask: 255.255.255.255 Any suggestion, please? Thank you.
