Have you setup the default gateway on your Linux box to the routers ip
address?
Good Luck,
Barry

did you switch ip forwarding on?
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
You need to add this into some of the /etc/rc scripts somewhere
(preferably at the end, since some of the rc files set it back to
0).
This is taken from my RedHat box, I don't have my YDL box up and I
can
not reboot it since it's at home and I'm at work. However, I take
it,
they use the same concept.
Best regards,
Chris
