My Router Isn't

[George Gambill]

George, 

Per your (and several others) message, 

cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward  returned a "0".

Per Bill Jonas (thanks bill) echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward fixed it
for the time.  However, after a reboot it goes back to "0".

How do I set this to 1 at start?

Any suggestions

Thanks

George

Hi George,

What is the status of IP Forwarding on the router (gwg)?  cat
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
