Wensong,
Thanks for the info. So, the system will not set ip_foward by default even
if it
detects two interface cards. On Solaris2.x, it will set kernel variable
ip_forward
to 1 unless the file /etc/norouter exists.
Regards!
Eddie

If you like to use the GUI tool on RedHat-5.1, run the Control-Panel, then
choose the Network Configurator, enable the "IPv4 Network Packets
Forwarding" option in the Routing table.
If not, vi the /etc/sysconfig/network and set
FORWARD_IPV4=yes
Finally, reboot your Linux box.
