 |
|
Every time I try to do
| Code: | echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
for f in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/rp_filter ; do echo 1 > $f ; done |
It returns with an error that no such file or directory exists. I went and looked in proc, and I couldn't even see /proc/sys however there is /proc/net if that has anything to do with this.
Sorry if this looks messed up but I'm doing this from links, because i can't turn nat on :'(
Can somebody please help me asap? I appreciate it very much.
Btw, I did put the required things to turn on ip forwarding in the sysctl.conf and rebooted.
Thanks |

did you loaded the modules for netfilter? | Code: | | for foo in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/* ; do modprobe $(basename $(basename ${foo} .ko) .o) ; done |
cheers

I compiled all the features in. I used to have it the same way with the 2.6.9-gentoo-r1 kernel and it worked fine. I checked some of the basic iptable guides and made sure the basic features are all turned on.
I also emerged iptables, and the rules get accepted along with any other standard commands. |
