RE: Connection to Network Cards
Next step: Make sure IP forwarding is enabled. The file
/proc/sys/net/ip_forward should contain a 1...if it does not, add the line
'echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ip_forward' to your startup scripts.
Step after that, read the iptables HOWTO at
http://www.telematik.informatik.uni-karlsruhe.de/lehre/seminare/LinuxSem/dow
nloads/netfilter/iptables-HOWTO.html
It will give you a pretty good idea of where to start with your iptables
configuration, as well as a brief explanation of how it works.
