Hi, I've had the same problem, but looking at some of the scripts, I found out you have to enable it in /etc/sysctl.conf as well...
The point is that (I think during the "network" script), the sysctl settings are scanned *after* the /etc/sysconfig/network settings are scanned... However, setting /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward to 1 should work fine too, although of course that setting isn't remembered when you reboot Cheers, Hans On Sun, 2002-10-27 at 16:05, Jeferson Lopes Zacco wrote: > Hi all... sorry about the somewhat noob question... > > I am trying to upgrade to MDK 9 but I've been facing some... > difficulties.
