I can not add the ip chain listed below as I run DHCP on the external nic
and the format below does not work on the eiger 2 beta with PPPoP option for
DSL

I have everything working except irc on my network and this is driving me
crazy. (mail, web, ftp, AIM, sshd and DNS)

What should I post to have someone look at my settings to see what might be
wrong?

Subject: Re: [Leaf-user] Ram Disk size and ipmasqadm help


Kevin:

        Not so sure about the first question, so all I can
offer is an educated guess:

        Am pretty sure that whatever isn't consumed by the ramdisk
is used as free mem space for applications.

        Of course, this depends on what version of LEAF/LRP you're
running with. I presume Oxygen, since you have a two floppy system?

        In any case, you should be able to set the ipmasqadm rules
at the command line, and see it working. Putting it into a config
file just makes it survive a reboot.
        So, at the command line, try these four lines:

IP_EXT=<your.external.ip.address>
IRC_HOST=<irc-box.lan.ip.address>
ipchains -I 5 input -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d $IP_EXT/32 6665:6669 -p tcp -j ACCEPT
ipmasqadm autofw -A -r tcp 6665 6669 -h $IRC_HOST

        Note the ipchains command inserts something into your
ipchains ruleset at position #5. I picked #5 at random: you want
to insert it early on, before some "catch-all" rule near the end
blocks everything.
        Good luck!

-Scott
