To get the IP Forwarding option you need to enable some weird options, I believe it's multicast something or other under 2.0.X or well, you can just select IP Masquarding under 2.2.1... > Also, I don't know what to do about ifconfig: I tried this: > eth0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 broadcast > 192.168.1.255. > What am I doing wrong here? I think I need to change the ip number after > 'eth0' to something else and add an entry to /etc/hosts. Is this so? I'm not sure why you need all those values, all I have mine setup to (and it works) is: ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 I added the gateway into the route of the machines that connect to this box to internet :) Works fine for me :)
