True, but you do have to have forwarding enabled on the router box. echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward will turn forwarding on for the current session, or edit /etc/sysctl.conf to include this line: # Controls IP packet forwarding net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 and then do (as root) "sysctl -w" (no quotes). This will enable ip forwarding for the current and all subsequent sessions. jb -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
