i'm using dachstein 1.0.2 on a home network firewall. everything seems hunky dory:
network cards are both recognized and configured correctly masquerading works on the internal machines everyone can ping everyone, both inside and out. the last hurdle is port forwarding -- it looks ok, but isn't working (i'm not receiving mail, and i can't telnet to the smtp port from a remote machine). note that the internal server that handles mail, ftp and apache is satan.diablo.net (192.168.0.2). the firewall is mephisto.diablo.net (eth0: 64.164.47.8 eth1: 192.168.0.1). modules: ip_masq_user 3708 0 (unused) ip_masq_portfw 2416 4 ip_masq_ftp 3576 0 (unused) ip_masq_mfw 3196 0 (unused) ip_masq_autofw 2476 0 (unused) rtl8139 10856 1 tulip 32424 1 pci-scan 2300 0 [rtl8139 tulip] isofs 17692 0 ide-cd 22672 0 cdrom 26712 0 [ide-cd] forwarded ports: # ipmasqadm portfw -l prot localaddr rediraddr lport rport pcnt pref TCP adsl-64-164-47-8.dsl.scrm01.pacbell.net satan.diablo.localnet 24 ssh 10 10 TCP adsl-64-164-47-8.dsl.scrm01.pacbell.net satan.diablo.localnet smtp smtp 10 10 TCP adsl-64-164-47-8.dsl.scrm01.pacbell.net satan.diablo.localnet www www 10 10 TCP adsl-64-164-47-8.dsl.scrm01.pacbell.net satan.diablo.localnet ftp ftp 10 10 here are the relevent variables i've set. i'm wondering what the difference between them is. they look to do the same thing to me: INTERN_SERVERS="tcp_${EXTERN_IP}_ftp_192.168.0.2_ftp tcp_${EXTERN_IP}_smtp_192.168.0.2_smtp" # These lines use the primary external IP address...if you need to # port-forward # an aliased IP address, use the INTERN_SERVERS setting above INTERN_FTP_SERVER=192.168.0.2 # Internal FTP server to make available INTERN_WWW_SERVER=192.168.0.2 # Internal WWW server to make available INTERN_SMTP_SERVER=192.168.0.2 # Internal SMTP server to make available #INTERN_POP3_SERVER=192.168.0.2 # Internal POP3 server to make available #INTERN_IMAP_SERVER=192.168.0.2 # Internal IMAP server to make available INTERN_SSH_SERVER=192.168.0.2 # Internal SSH server to make available EXTERN_SSH_PORT=24 # External port to use for internal SSH i'm looking at this, and i can't see anything that's wrong. the output of ipmasqadm looks compelling. it LOOKS like it should be working. help! any advice? what exactly is the difference between INTERN_SERVERS and INTER_.*_SERVER? i'm not too sure what an "aliased IP address" is. does that refer to a masqueraded ip address (like 192.168.0.2)? any help greatly appreciated. i've been staring at this for far too long. :) pete -- PGP Fingerprint: B9F1 6CF3 47C4 7CD8 D33E 70A9 A3B9 1945 67EA 951D PGP Public Key: finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
