Hi pete

I want to know what difference it is going to make if i do not enble packet
farwarding i.e. echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

Because i don't want that my machine should behave as a router. i want
internet connection on that machine only and would provide static address
manually .

cheers for your help
