Insert the following line into your /etc/sysctl.conf: #Controls IP packet forwarding net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 If the lines are already there, make sure it is set to "1" and then restart your sysctl.conf by running (as root) : /sbin/sysctl -p That should set you up without having to reboot and will ensure that packet forwarding will be enabled on subsequent reboots. jb -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
