Dear NF:

          I cannot get IPTABLES FORWARDing to work when the machines are 
directly
connected via a twisted cable.
         Does FORWARDing only work with a router between the machines in 
question?
         If not, how can I get it to work?   I see the packets coming 
into the box(ethereal)
but none going out.
         Can someone give me a quick overview of how, at the kernel code 
level,
how FORWARDing works and how to modify it to get two machines who are 
directly
connected to work.


                                                                                     
Jerry
