[ILUG] Redhat 7.2 Install Problems

[HAMILTON,DAVID (HP-Ireland,ex2)]

Thanks Glen, right on both counts.

Since the old Control Panel has been removed from Rh7.2, thank you very
much, the new network config tool doesn;t have a tab for adding routes.
Where do I add these?  both static network routes and the default route.

Thanks again,
	David.

Check to see if cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward returns a 1, if not
then you'll need to echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward.

On RedHat you can get the system to do this but I can't remember where
to set it. /etc/sysctl.conf or something, Anyone, bewler ??
