hi, I'm setting up a wireless access point and I've got the laptop to connect to the server, and dhcp working, but I can't get the firewall to forward packets to the outside wall. I've seen some people setting up a bridging device, but before I've done it using iptables. Is one of these methods better, deprecated or just different? I'm using the iptables script described here; http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net/iptables-tutorial.html#INCLUDERCFIREWALL the forward part is here $IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i $LAN_IFACE -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A FORWARD -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $INET_IFACE -j SNAT --to-source $INET_IP But there doesn't seem to be anything to redirect the return packets or to tell it which interface the outbound packets should be on. It says in the tutorial masquerade should be avoided due to the extra CPU, any comments?
