[Gllug] routing problems (ip forwarding)

[Xander D Harkness]

I have a laptop I am trying to route through.

The laptop has a wireless card and a built-in ethernet port.

I am trying to use the laptop as a wireless router for my Zaurus.

ipaddress for ethernet is 192.168.1.59 (internet gateway 192.168.1.1)
ipaddress for wireless is 192.168.2.1
ipaddress for zaurus is 192.168.1.190 (gateway 192.168.2.1)

I can ping the laptop (192.168.2.1) from the Zaurus.
I can ping the zaurus (192.168.2.190) from the laptop
I cannot ping through the laptop in either direction.

I have disabled any firewall and enabled IP forwarding.

The laptop is running limbo2 (latest RH beta) kernel version 2.4.18-5.58

Has anyone an idea as to why?

Kind regards
Xander
