5. Run the following with root privileges on the iMac:

sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1

(tell the Kernel we want to forward IP packets)
I want to try this ingenious solution as soon as possible. But I'm a bit ignorant in many things UNIX. My question is: when I want to stop the connection and the IP forwarding, I just type:

sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=0

or is it more complicated than that?

Thanks in advance for any help.
