That's right. You don't need any for your application. Remember=20 that netfilter rules are generally for **filtering** packets, not=20 for forwarding packets. Take a look at the line towards the bottom of the script I sent=20 that turns on IP forwarding. That line turns your Linux system=20 into a router. It tells the kernel to forward packets from one=20 ethernet interface to the other and out to the network on the other=20 end. The -t mangle stuff is just being thorough. Netfilter has several tables and the mangle table is one of them. It's good practice to=20 flush and zero all tables when you set these scripts up. Take it=20 out if you want. - Greg -----Original Message----- From: Tony Earnshaw [mailto:tonni@billy.demon.nl] Sent: Saturday, June 01, 2002 10:05 AM To: Greg Scott Cc: Stef Coene; Neil Aggarwal; Linux Advanced Routing & Traffic Control List Subject: RE: [LARTC] How to l=F8r, 2002-06-01 kl. 16:55 skrev Greg Scott: > I know the other list is for netfilter stuff but heck, if I can help > I'll give it a try... Sigh. I don't see any FORWARD rule here. You know, like between the interfaces.
