Hi,

I am trying to set up routing between my wireless (wlan0) to my eth0 port.

I have set up the wlan0 as follows:

allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
        address 192.168.10.100
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        wireless-mode ad-hoc
        wireless-essid dock-amp

eth0 as:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp


Both interfaces have been proven to work.

Within sysctl.conf net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

eth0 has ip address 192.168.2.207, wlan0 is as above, I want to allow
devices connected wireless to access the web so I have tried to set up nat
to allow packets to get routed through to 192.168.2.207.

I used the following command:

ip route add nat 192.168.2.207 via 192.168.10.100

To this I get the following error        RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument

I have looked at www.policyrouting.org, but I cannot see what I am doing
wrong. Any help would be great.

Thanks,
Stuart
