setting up router

Hello all!

I want to setup a router on a Fedora Linux machine. I have succesfully
installed the two ethernet cards. My external IP address is static. I
followed the shorewall quickstart guide instructions but my router still
does not route :-( and I dont know what is wrong or how I should go further.
The configuration that I have thought of is the following:

eth0
IP 181.196.188.248
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
GW 181.196.188.225

eth1
IP 10.10.10.254
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
GW 181.196.188.248

network computer WADDE

WADDE
IP 10.10.10.2
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
GW 10.10.10.254

I noticed that I do have access to the Internet as long as shorewall is not
started. Once I start it, it wont work. If I issue shorewall stop, the
external connection works again.

Here are a few outputs that could give some clues to an experienced eye:

/sbin/ip link list
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue

link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

4: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000

#/sbin/ip route show

181.196.188.0/24 dev eth0 scope link

10.10.10.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 10.10.10.254

169.254.0.0/16 dev eth0 scope link

127.0.0.0/8 dev lo scope link

default via 181.196.188.225 dev eth0


Any help would be appreciated,
Bogdan

I typed these two commands but no output was produced by either of them.

And nor should it: the '>' redirects the output produced by 'echo' into
the pseudo-files.

See: man bash

Alright, the content of both files is 1.
