Add appropriate ``gateway'' stanza in /etc/network/interfaces; see interfaces(5). Or simply add the gateway-adding command to /etc/init.d/network. > iptables rules did not persist as shown by iptables -L the table > was empty and packets were not being forwarded from the 192.168.1. > 1 eth1 interface to the 10.20.1.158 eth0 interface. iptables -t nat > -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE has not helped my situation. (1) Setup your iptables configuration. (2) Do ``iptables-save > /etc/iptables.conf''. (3) Add ``iptables-restore < /etc/iptable.conf'' to /etc/init.d/network. Do NOT use /etc/init.d/iptables until it's audited -- there is/was a potential security breach (see Bug#225805), and other issues are probably to be discovered. Alternatively, you can modularize the setup, using /etc/network/interfaces. > my default xwindow manager i thought was kde ... xdm is now coming From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]: | X was named after an earlier window system called "W".
