Hello alls,

I have a small problem.  I have a NetBSD box that is acting as
my internet gateway for the machines i have at home.  Up till now,
it's been blindly running socks because my provider would only do
one ip number.  Now, I have them routing/connecting a class C, but
my netbsd box seems to refuse to forward packets!  I haev GATEWAY
ciomplied in, and i tried running routed, but that didn't help.  I'm
at wits end here, as the only other time ii've setup a gateway was
under linux, which was just compile in the IP_FORWARD option 
(or something like that).

So - I know theer's something relatively simple that i'm missing
with regard to netbsd, the question is, WHAT IS IT?

TIA

D
