Re: Linux Networking problem...please help..

Hello,

maybe you could try to turn off send_redirects??

echo "0" >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/send_redirects
echo "0" >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth0/send_redirects

Maybe you'll have to write eth0 instead of eth0, depending on
the interface for the internal network.

Hope this helps

Sven
