[olug] Re: Wireless Help

[Joe Catanzaro]

Ahhh hahhhhh!!!!!   And after laying in bed last night it hit me that I 
didn't have an iptables/ipchains rule setup for this stuff. And I knew it 
was something obvious. I'll probably have to add something like:

/sbin/ipchains -A forward -s 10.0.1.0/24 -j MASQ

or maybe

/sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

along with many other rules around these. I won't have time to mess with 
this until tomorrow night. So, I'll post my results at that time.

Thanks,
