Title: RE: [PLUG] Bridging two networks using linux

Ipforwarding would be more than suffice, it is actually what I am looking for.

 

I was just able to get the machine up and running with the two cards on separate networks (the wireless on 172.20. and the wired on 192.168.).  However, Redhat8 does not have /etc/network in which to add the forwarding line.  I did, however, find a /etc/sysconfig/network which might be the right file.  But, I'm not sure of the line I need to place in there.

 

thanks

Since he's using this as a gateway to his actual dsl router (which is likely using NAT) would he still need NAT or would ip forwarding suffice? A gateway to a gateway as it were. . .
