Change the line in /etc/sysconfig/network to =yes
or throw this in your rc.local file
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
Either will do the same thing. (Though the first requires a reboot, where
the second doesn't. You could change the line in that file then issue the
echo command for this session.)
Yes 192.168.1.0 is correct for your subnet.
Myself I use insmod ip_masq_irc and insmod ip_masq_ftp etc......
And, rc.local is the proper place to put those commands (unless your into
sysV scripting =)
After that, it looks like your good to go.
