Hi all, I have a doubt. I have a PC running RH 9 with iptables set up. It has two n/w cards. eth0 is connected to the internal network of the company and gets its ip from the DHCP server which is also the name server etc etc.eth1 is connected to a hub which forms my own small network running its own DHCP server.
Once the PC has booted up and everything is working fine if I shut down iptables then understandably the PC's on my eth1 n/w cannot access the internet since I am using IPMASQ but still my PC can ping google.com. Now if i restart the iptables service after making some changes to it something goes wrong with my network. That is I can ping the PC's on the eth1 network and I can also ping the pc's on the eth0 n/w but for some reason my PC cannot resolv the domain names. It can ping the company server and before anybody says it yes the contents of resolv.conf are alright. The problem goes away if i restart my network once again after restarting the iptables. Now this not a problem as such just a nagging doubt as to why do i need to restart the network after restarting iptables although I have not made any changes to it. -- Arindam Dey The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled.
