    Oops, I broke NAT

    Hi folks,

    I accidentally broke the configuration on my wl500gx and trying to figure out how to restore it. (more precisly, NAT)

    After a restart (needed to change the wifi password), all hosts, wifi or ethernet, lost internet connectivity.
    I logged in on the router and found out it's not doing NAT anymore.
    iptables -t nat -L shows PRE/POSTROUTING and OUTPUT chains are empty.

    so I manually type in the rules (iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING [...] -j MASQUERADE) and everything works again. I've never had to do it before.

    How can I restore the configuration so that it does this automatically on startup ? I found in "system setup" three choices, one of which shows "home gateway" which has NAT enabled. I've re-selected this but it still won't do NAT. I can't find the option anywhere else in the interface !

    Beer in paris for whoever can help me figure it out

    Cheers

    Alex
