Don't write to /proc/sys/net manually. /proc is a run-time filesystem. Your settings are gone next time you switch off the machine or reboot. /etc/sysctl.conf is the proper way to make permanent changes to the /proc system at boot-time or run-time. Read "man sysctl". Set net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 in /etc/sysctl.conf. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; WMM) Description of problem: I have a network I have succeded at last to brouws over the local network en use my isdn adapter to go to the internet. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.I save the iptables, but the next time i restart i have to set ip_forward in /proc/sys/net by hand. I have solved this in sysctl.conf, but i think it is not logical to make a table and have to set and save parameters also. Is this to change, so i only have to search on one place when i have a problem? 2. 3. Actual Results: It works now, at least. Expected Results: Just do the action on one place. Additional info:
