hi there,
I installed RH 8.0.It has 1 ethernet card and 3 orinoco wireless cards.
All cards are working properly. Wireless Links as well:).
I need some advice I just defined a.a.a.2 nm 255.255.255.252 for internet.
a.a.a.1 is the router interface.
to define the other 3 cards as interface ips what should i do?
and how can i make ip forwarding. I mean how can i make this linux box as REAL Router with real Interface IP numbers.Wireless cards are just connecting lik PTP links.

Regards,
murat

Hi,

Configuration files for network cards reside in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/

To enable permanently ip forwarding in linux edit /etc/sysctl.conf and put this
net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

Then

#sysctl -w
