Hi Stef and others,

Thanks. The NISTNET looks like a very decent package. I have tried it 
briefly on a Red Hat 7.2 and it seems to work fine.

I have another basic question and I would if anyone could help me out.

Basically, I am trying a setup a Linux router between two local subnets, 
192.168.0.1/24 and 192.168.1.1/24. My Linux box has two ethernet cards, 
eth0 has IP address 192.168.0.1 (subnet mask 255.255.255.0) and eth1 has 
IP address 192.168.1.1 (subnet mask: 255.255.255.0). Now I wish my Linux 
box to be able to route traffic between eth0 and eth1.

I have modified '/etc/sysctl.conf' to,

# Controls IP packet forwarding
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1

However, it doesn't seem to work right now. Is there anything else I 
need to do? I wish to set it up quickly and would appreciate any advice!

Thank you.

Best Regards,
Tony Cheung
