Hi. I have a system with two network cards -- eth0 is a public ip
address and eth1 is on an internal network. Now I have all the packet
forwards enabled, and there is a route from eth1 to the internal
network, but if a computer on the internal network sets his gateway to
the box, he can't traceroute past the box to the internet. There
are no iptable rules yet.
Here is the routing table as produced by route.
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
64.183.125.208 * 255.255.255.248 U 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
default rrcs-64-183-125 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
What am I doing wrong here?
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Two things spring to mind.
1. What result do you get from "cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward"? If
it's zero then you haven't got forwarding enabled.
2. Even if it is enabled, stuff on the LAN will head out to the big wide
world with a 192.168.1.x address on it and get eaten by any
properly-configured router outside.
To fix the first one, just "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" to
enable forwarding.
To fix the second one, you'll need a bunch of iptables rules to set up
NAT so all outbound traffic goes out using your public IP.
