Comment: Hi,
I would like to set Linux as a router.
I installed the Red hat 7.2 verssion iNow according to the book Red hat linux 7.2 Bible it says to enter this:
ipchains -P forward Deny and then ipchains -A forward -i ppp0 -s 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 -j MASQ
the problem is when i enter the first sentence it says protocol not availble so i found in this forum that i have to enter modprobe ipchains and it worked and when i enter the second sentence it doesnThanks
