Internet/Packet Forwarding

[Marie]

I am presently attempting to set up a “local LAN” using “Linux 9.0 server” as my router. I have “eth0” configured towards my “ISP” and “eth1” configured (DHCPD Server) towards my local LAN. I am connecting to “eth1” (Linux Server) with Windows 2000 workstation. I can ping “eth 1” from the windows box, but can’t ping “eth0” (ISP Side of Linux Server) from the windows box. I also can’t access the internet from the windows box. However, I am able to access the internet from the Linux Server. I see routing statements in my “Table” that appears to reflect the correct gateways and routes.

How do I get the Linux Box to route the traffic between “eth1” and “eth0” and enable internet access from the local LAN (Windows Box)?

You can use the following:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

I suggest that you read this “iptables“ tutorial:

Use a more secured operating system. There are many security bugs in “RH9” that are not updated.
