You need IP Forwarding switched on, but also unless you have been assigned more than 1 ip address for your link this wont work with out using masquarding etc...<br />

I can't ping the ppp0 port on my linux server.<br />
<br />
I have a small LAN with the linux server acting as the S/W router to my ISP. All the hardware is setup and seems to be behaving itself. From within the LAN I can ping all the(legal) PC IP addresses. I can also ping all those addresses from the linux PC. I can also ping the ppp0 port and the rest of the world from the linux PC. What I can't do is ping beyond the ppp0 port from within the LAN from any other PC, other than the linux PC. For example, I can't ping the ISP's gateway from within the LAN.<br />
<br />
When I try pinging the internet from within the LAN, there are no Tx or Rx lights flashing on the modem, as there is when pinging from the linux PC.<br />
<br />
When I run the debug switch for routed, I get coninuous messages saying that &quot;sendto: Network is unreachable&quot; and &quot;ADD Route: Broken Pipe&quot;<br />

I am running Slackware 2.0.0

No Routing

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
