Ip_forward Issue

[mpr104]

Hi all, hope someone can help me with this.

I am having issues with getting routing between 'internal' and 'external' interfaces working.
Both have non-routable IP address (eth0 192.168.1.x) (eth1 192.168.10.x).

Eth0 is the external interface, it's gateway being the inside interface of the DSL router (which has the routable IP address)

I can ping outside fine from the linux box but any hosts on the LAN 192.168.10.x cant. They can reach their gatway which is the IP address of eth1 and they can reach eth0 but they cant reach the inside interface of the router or the internet.

I have tried playing around with adding routes, I have turned on proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward and it looks like it should work but it isnt.

Here are some configs

ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:BA:B0:B9:16
inet addr:192.168.1.78 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward = 1

contents of /etc/sysconfig/network is
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=support.berginct.com

GATEWAY=192.168.1.1

I have tried with and without firewall on - still no luck.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Regards

Which distro do you have?
Do you have a firewall? If yes routing has to be enabled between the two nics.

Thanks for your advice.

It was a POSTROURTING command that was missing - I downloaded a firewall script (rc.firewall-2.4-stronger, added in relevant IPs and ports and it worked.
