HI Yan,
I'm having a little trouble following the thread (there is no indication
when
the senter changes, not sure why).
The machines on the wireless network should have the default gateway of
10.1.10.1, while the machines on LAN including the linux box/router,
should
have 10.0.0.1 as the gateway.
>From your last post, it looks like the you can ping from a machine on
the WLAN
through the linux box to it's LAN nic. Is that correct?
Can you ping the 10.0.0.1 gateway from the linux box?
Can you ping anything else in the LAN from the WLAN?
Can the LAN machines ping the WLAN machines?
Does 'cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward' on the linux box still show
"1"?

Hi Pete,
My problem is that I can't ping machine in the LAN from the WLAN. I
start tethereal on each network interface on my linux box (eth0 &
wlan0). When I try to ping a machine on the LAN from the WLAN, I can see
the ping request on the wlan0 interface. But I don't see anything on the
eth0 interface.
Yes, the machines on the wireless network have the default gateway of
10.1.10.1, while the machines on LAN including the linux box/router,
have 10.0.0.1 as the gateway.
>From the linux box, I can ping the gateway and all other machine in the
LAN.
But from the WLAN, I can only ping the linux box interface eth0. I can't
ping the gateway 10.0.0.1 and I can't ping any machine in the LAN.
Yes, the ip_forwarding is set:
[root at hotspot root]# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
1
Here is the output of ifconfig:
