Well I have worked most of the time in windows environments ...so I was confused between the default gateway "address of the router in windows " & making your host with 2 network interfaces a router... what do we do when we run demons like routed & gated on our hosts ... do we use them to point to a router on our network or we use them to make our host a router ? the book sort of discuss both in a combine way so I am confused how do we enable ip forwarding .... thanks a lot Faisal ??? ???? ???????
