You have to compile MintNet with -DDONT_FORWARD (or something similar, look
into include/config.h) do disable gateway functionality. (Really only machines
that are connected to more than one network interface should have forwarding
built in. Perhaps I should make forwarding somehow setable without having
to recompile the .xdd).
