This should be a simple task. I need to use a FC2/3 as a router. (I have done this in RH7.2 with no problems) Here is my senerio :Read the book "Linux Firewalls" by Robert Ziegler. It is a little outdated now, but he publishes scripts in the book which show how to do routing. I do simple routing which is similar to yours and use the scripts Ziegler provides to make it happen.
Fedora C3 (soon to be router - I hope) External Interface 172.16.176.152 / 20 Internal Interface 192.168.213.152 / 24 No GW on internal net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 set in sysctl.conf file (rebooted of-course)
Internal PC IP = 192.168.213.253 / 24 GW = 192.168.213.254
I can ping the 192.168.213.254 and 172.16.176.152 from the internal PC, but not any device in the 172.17.176 network.
This is a full install of FC3. iptables is default. I have even disabled iptables to test. Still no luck.........I need a simple solution. I do not want to disable iptables and install another product.....like firestarter or enable (masquerading) NAT.
There must be a simple solution?

The book "Linux Routing" by Brockmeier et al may also be a little outdated but gives the most complete treatment of routing that I've read.
