Hi, AJ. Thanks for the reply. As far as I can tell, that is handled by the iptables module. Part of the setup is telling iptables which is the internal interface and which is the external and it does

iptables FORWARD -i (internal NIC) -o (external NIC) -j ACCEPT

which should send all packets from internal to external. I suppose I can still define the default gateway for the internal NIC and see what happens, but it certainly wasn't part of the instructions I read.

I'll go give that a shot.

Edit: Uhoh, the address for the external NIC is assigned by DHCP. How to set the default gateway? Sigh.

Thanks,
SpaceAce
