If you are using NT an your problem is incoming web/mail/etc. More than
likely your edge internet router is trying to dump traffic to a device which
is physically not there.

You can either put a static route on the router for each host (respectively
sending traffic to the firewall) or you can put force the firewall to
respond to the router requests from a layer-2 standpoint. (ie-local.arp)
You have to stop and start the service after every change to the local.arp
Make sure local.arp is under the $fwdir/state directory and DON'T create it
or link it to wordpad/notepad. For some reason the little file gets pretty
antsy about stuff like that. DO a dos-based edit.

Your file should look something like this:
IPaddress of for firewall to respond (TAB) MAC_Address_of_NIC_Facing_router

200.200.200.200 1c-3c-2a-3c-4b-1e

Make sure NAT is in place, along with the rule to allow the traffic, and
layer-3 routing.

Subject: [FW1] NATing



Hi, 

Ignore my previous message I just used it for the email address.


Our class C address is subnet as follows, subnet 0 is not used, subnet 1 is
the DMZ, subnet 2 is used for NATing internal users on a 10.x.x.x network to
legal addresses, and subnet 3 is dirty side of the firewall. 

0       x.x.x.1  -  x.x.x.62            Not Used
1       x.x.x.65  -  x.x.x.126          DMZ
2       x.x.x.129  -  x.x.x.190         NATed address range used for
internal PCs
3       x.x.x.193  -  x.x.x.254         Dirty side of firewall

Which subnet is used for NATing external addresses to internal hosts? I have
tried using subnet 2 range; the firewall logs :-

external ip address     legal external address of host          telnet
accept on rule 800
external ip address     illegal internal address of host
telnet          accept on rule 800
legal external address
 of host                        external ip address
telnet          drop on rule 0

First I thought I was not getting a connection because of spoofing I turned
spoofing off (or I thought I did) but it made not a jot of different. I have
no problem on the internal pcs going out to the internet. Just coming the
other way from the internet to internal net.

Anybody any pointers? Had a look at phoneboy tried messing with local.arp

Cheers Gary
