I've followed Warren's walkthrough of MonMotha's firewall script found at
<http://www.mplug.org/phpwiki/index.php/BasicFirewallRouter>.
I installed the script on a computer running redhat 7.3. The only change I made
was that I used 192.168.1.1 instead of 192.168.0.1 for the firewall LAN gateway
address (eth1), because I have an existing Linksys router that had been using
that address and all my clients are already set up that way, I don't want to
have to reconfigure 17 computers when I swap my dedicated firewall for my
router.
I can't get the firewall talking to the WAN at all. After I run the script,
I can't get the LAN to ping the firewall.
When I try to ping anything on the WAN from the firewall I get "network is not
reachable." This is true even before I run the firewall script so there are
no rules and default is "accept". I have set up the firewall with the same IP
number and gateway that the router had, I've disconnected the router from both
the WAN and the LAN, and hooked in the firewall instead.
I tested the cables. I tested the two ethernet cards. I reconfigured a client
to use the WAN address as a gateway and plugged it into the WAN NIC with a
crossover
cable, the client was able to ping the firewall on eth0.
I am able to ping the firewall from the LAN before running the script. After
running the script, the firewall no longer answers ping. Is this what I should
expect?
Could redhat 7.3 have ipchains running by default and messing me up?
Could the IP# change matter? (Warren's walkthrough says use 192.168.0.1 as
eth1's
IP#, the gateway address for the LAN, I used 192.168.1.1 instead.) I tried to
set the firewall up to be identical to the router it replaces, same gateway,
same IP#. The LED shows activity on the card attached to the WAN.
Could the MAC change when I switch from the router to the firewall be confusing
my gateway so that it refuses to speak to me? I am at UH, not using an ISP.
Could there be a delay before things start working? When I switch things back,
it always takes a while before the router starts working again.
There is some stuff in the walk-through about the PCI slots using bus-mastering,
I have no idea what this is about, could that be causing my problem?
How can I tell whether ipforwarding is enabled and working? (That's how the
packets get between the LAN NIC and the WAN NIC, right? I see it in the script
output,but is there an explicit test?)
Since I can't reach the network even before I run the script, the script doesn't
seem to be the entire problem. But for what it's worth, here is the output when
I run the script:

**********************************
These don't look like errors to me. What does "192.168.1.0/24:ACCEPT" in the
local traffic rules mean - anything from a machine on the 192.168.1 subnet is
accepted??
Here is the output from iptables -L after running the script:

That doesn't really look right to me, but I don't claim to understand it at
all.
