[plug] gateway problem

[Rob Dunne]

Thanks Leon,
      on the gateway

[root at lycra robd]# /sbin/ipchains  -xvnL
Chain input (policy ACCEPT: 7193760 packets, 425913125 bytes):
Chain forward (policy ACCEPT: 37 packets, 3080 bytes):
Chain output (policy ACCEPT: 13144311 packets, 18695381854 bytes):

which looks OK
and
[root at lycra robd]#echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
fixes that problem.

but it still doesnt work. Perhaps the gateway needs a reboot for the
change to ip_forward to take effect?


from the desktop machine i can
1) ping the gateway
ping 192.168.13.254
2) ping the address that the gateway is known by on the  ppp0 connection
ping 130.116.4.91
3) but no further.
           
I am busy working my way through the Masquerading HOWTO as suggested by
a previous poster
