ip masquerade and packet forwarding
I am trying to set up IP Masquerading on my Linux machine running
Debian. I have been reading the HOWTO's but I am getting lost.
I think I have the kernel setup like I'm supposed to but how do I enable
it?
Specifically, how do I enable packet forwarding in Debian? The
instructions are for Red Hat and don't seem to be accurate in my case.
"Redhat Users: you may try changing the options in
/etc/sysconfig/network from:
#
# FORWARD_IPV4=false
# to
# FORWARD_IPV4=true
#
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward"
"cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" : Make sure it says "0"
Any help would be appreciated.
