Uh, well...

I have a Linux PC with two NICs. One of them is connected to the internet 
and the other to a private network. I can telnet from the private network 
to this PC and from there connect to the internet.

Recently I compiled my kernel (I use Slackware 3.2 with kernel
version 2.0.29) with ip_forwarding enabled. Now, when I boot with the new 
kernel the system comes up normally. But I cannot transparently get to 
the internet from the private network. Also, the file 
/proc/net/ipv4/ipforward does not exist.

Any advice?

Thanks in advance
