I'm a little bit confused. I got my server up and running with nat and stuff for a little while now and I was wondering why would one need both net.inet.ip.forwarding set to 1 and NAT ? I've been searching in the docs and on google for 3 days but I can't figure out what is forwarding needed for if NAT is enabled... Regards -Pierrick Brossin http://www.swissgeeks.com
