Hi,
 
I need some help on using IPTABLES to setup a simple PC-based router (for LAN usage).
The PC consists of  a 10/100 NIC on eth0, and a gigabit fiber NIC on eth1. The gigabit fiber NIC is connected to another fiber-based port, whereas the 10/100 NIC is connected to a 10/100 hub. Now, for all packets coming from eth0, forward it to eth1, and vice versa. 
Could anyone verify/suggest commands to set for this setting?
# iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth1 
# iptables -A FORWARD -i eth1 -o eth0 
 
Is it that's all we need to do? Thanks.
 
Regards,
Jocelyn
