Hi

I have a debian machine with 2 nics. I enabled IPforwardig but it wont
forward packets from one side to the other. I have a simple setup.

broadband router 192.168.1.1
           |
           |
*** debian router/gateway ***
eth0 192.168.1.2
mask 255.255.255.0
def gw 192.168.1.1

eth1 10.10.10.1
mask 255.255.255.0

route table shows

dest gw interface
192.168.1.0 * eth0
10.10.10.0 * eth1
default 192.168.1.1 eth0

*** debian router/gateway ***
          |
          |
pc 10.10.10.3
mask 255.255.255.0
def gw 10.10.10.1

>>From the debian computer I can ping everything including the internet
via the broadband router.
>>From the pc I can ping both sides of the debian router/gateway but i
cannot ping the broadband router at 192.168.1.1

IP forwarding is enabled in the file /etc/network/options

ip_forward=yes.

Any troubleshooting tips ?
