[Previously (accidentally) posted to debian-devel] Is there any reason that msquerading wouldn't work right using the current (unstable) debian packages?
I tried to set up a simple net, following the instructions in the IP-Masquerade mini-HOWTO, and have had no success. Here's some info if it's helpful: I tried kernels 2.0.27 and 2.1.17. I compiled all the features into the kernels that the HOWTO suggests (I think). I set up the host (the one actually connected to the internet via ppp) with the following network related commands (in addition to a ppp defaultroute): ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 route -add net 127.0.0.0 dev lo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 route -add net 192.168.1.0 dev eth0 ipfwadm -F -p deny ipfwadm -F -a accept -m -S 192.168.1.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0 -W eth0 And I set up the client machine (connected via ethernet to the host) with the following commands: ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 route -add net 127.0.0.0 dev lo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 route add default gw 192.168.1.1 metric 1 This doesn't work. I can ping the host from the client, and the host can reach the internet via it's pppd defaultroute, but the client cannot reach the internet, so the host is not forwarding the masqueraded packets. Is there some way to see what the host is doing with the packets? Thanks for any help. -- Rob -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
