IP forwarding

Hi all again

After the amazing response to my query about two network adapters, I
thought I would venture another!

The two network cards are working. One is 194.200.135.12, the other is
192.168.0.1. From the machine itself, "GW", I can send and receive to both
networks. But it does not appear to be forwarding/routing packets from
other machines across the two interfaces. I checked the routing tables on
all machines, they are OK.

I compiled the kernel with IP Forwarding ON, and Firewall OFF. The routing
daemon is running.

I want to use the machine as a packet filtering router, a non-proxying
gateway. What am I missing? Are some of the kernel config settings mutually
exclusive?

Thanks in advance. I'm a quick learner, and hopefully I'll soon be able to
put something back into the forum!

Neil
