hello all,
I have a weird problem with a new rh5.0 installation. I am currently using
4.2 and want to upgrade to 5.0. I installed 5.0 on a fresh hard drive and all
went well. I then copied over the kernel that I currently use on the same
system (I changed hd's so that I could fall back to 4.2 just in case) to this
new 5.0 install, added it to lilo.conf, ran lilo and rebooted. During boot, I
noticed this message:
IPv4 packet forwarding: disabled
Please note that this kernal was compiled with ip forwarding enabled.
I then started my isdn modem and connected to the inet via ppp (worked first
time). This machine was on the inet, I could see everything, but my nt
machine connected to this linux box could not see the inet. Obviously,
because 5.0 was not forwarding packets. I changed the hard drives back so I
could boot into 4.2, rebooted with the same kernal that I tried using in 5.0
and looked several places for an answer. No dice.
Does anyone know why 5.0 disables packet forwarding on a kernel that has it
compiled in?
many thanks,
jim
