Re: My iPaq can't ping anything but my Linux box (IP Masquerade problem)

yes you have to allow the ip forwarding now by this commend :

ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 -d 0/0 -j MASQ

on your iPaq the default gateway must be the linux box. Test this by :

netstat -an

you will have a line as :

destination gateway
0.0.0.0 linux box ip

if no,

route add default gw 192.168.1.xx (linux box ip)
