Folks,
I am replacing a CISCO router with a Linux box running 2.0.34. I have
an Emerging Technologies Card, which connects to the V.35 "modem" my ISP
gave. The machine refuses to forward packets accross interfaces.
My configuration:
Linux earth 2.0.34 #19 Sun Oct 17 17:03:59 IST 1999 i586 unknown
eth0 Local (192.168.x.y) card
eth1 "valid" IP card (12.10.198.112/29) card, for mail servers, etc
ets0 Card to talk to RF Modem, runs PPP

IP Masq works beautifully.

IP firewall forward rules, default policy: accept
type prot source destination ports
acc/m all arjun.eurolink.stpn.soft.net anywhere n/a
acc/m all nakul.eurolink.stpn.soft.net anywhere n/a
acc/m all pc-16.eurolink.stpn.soft.net anywhere n/a
acc/m all 12.10.198.116 anywhere n/a
I know I should not have an open router, but that is secondary. How can I
tell the box to forward, simply, blindly? I will start firewalling later.
Thanks,
