I'm trying to connect to a network via VPN.
I get connected but cannot do anything.

I thought maybe IP forwarding must be enabled.
I tried:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

But the file ip_forward had not been updated after I issued this command. I think this is because file system is read only.

How can I enable IP forwarding in DSL.

or do you you know of any other reason my VPN is connected but not talking to pcs on the other side..

the file is read only and cannot be changed after booting..
but i was able to change it by putting the 'echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_foward' line into the
/opt/bootlocal.sh file

and this fixed alot of my network issues I've had all along..
