    hey guys

    I have a small problem I am about to put a new lan network together in my company! it is intended that the Internet connection goes into my (DHCP, PXE, File and print) server! These works perfect but I can not get internet to work! I have tried forwarding (eth0 => eth1) with iptables and it will not work(for me:confused:)

    this is what I have tried!!

    then

    To delete existing rules from every iptables table, execute the following commands:

    and then i type "iptables -L" i get this output
    should it not show that it forwarded from eth0 => eth1
    i'm not a guro in iptables so eny help is welcome
    i'm totaly lost there:)

    I have searched online for some days now and can not really find a solutions that works have tried this howto but without result
    searched howtoforge for iptables, forwarding etc..
    but nothing seem to work(mabe its me:( )

    looked over my log files even trail -f whill the client boots up but now errors there

    Regards
