 -- Allow IP forwarding                                                     
                                                                            
 Specifies whether IP forwarding is wanted. If this is checked, the AS/400  
 system is enabled to act as router for this connection. This allows        
 Internet Protocol (IP) datagrams not destined for this AS/400 system to    
 pass through this system onto a connected network. If the check box is     
 left blank, Internet Protocol (IP) discards those datagrams from the       
 remote system that are not destined for any addresses local to this AS/400 
 system. There may be security reasons why you would not want to allow IP   
 forwarding. In contrast, an Internet Service Provider (ISP) generally      
 always IP forwarding.                                                      
                                                                            
 Note: The check box will only take effect if system-wide IP datagram       
 forwarding is enabled, otherwise it will be ignored even if marked.
