did that a while ago but doesnt mean i understand!

I have this script that is run by init:

#!/bin/sh
iptables -t nat -F POSTROUTING
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wlan0 -j MASQUERADE
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

this was written at the pub during a surreyLUG meeting by a very
helpfull chap. It certainly does the job [ie anything on the wlan0 side
of things can communicate with anything on the wired net eth0 is on].
How do i route without NATing? so that the sending ip address is not
mangled by the router?

thanks
