Hi! Thanks for the reply! I'm running mandrake security beta4 (should upgrade it now) on a AMD k6-2 with 64 mb ram My isp has given me the ip range x.x.x.34 - x.x.x.60 with the netmask of 255.255.255.224 My mandrake security box is on x.x.x.48 My Web server is on x.x.x.50 all the office traffic is on the other side of the MDK security with ips like : 192.168.1.15 All office traffic ports are open at this point. but it seems like the default route goes straight out to the gateway x.x.x.33, and does not hit the local network. We also have a web server located at the ISP with an ip in the same range x.x.x.20 that the office machines cannot see either. What is the best way to create this route. At least I /think/ that's what I have to do. Thanks for any ideas. -ed- > > First, I have set up a web/ftp server outside the firewall, >> and everything works, but the machines inside the firewall cannot see >> it.
