Unset all those options again -- you don't need them. The only thing that has an affect for your desire is `GATEWAY', but it's obsoleted by the command ``sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1'', for a 2.1R system easily achieved by setting the `gateway' variable in /etc/sysconfig to "YES". Well, but you failed to describe us your exact problem anyway. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
