I have redhat 6.1 2.2.12-20 kernel. if it doesn't come with ipchains installed and a script to start masquerading on connection, then it hardly be said to support masquerading out of the box. as well as ipchains, you'll need a script that looks something like: ipchains -P forward DENY ipchains -A forward -i $extif -j MASQ you can run this script manually, or have it run at boot time or at connection time. > I am going to install ip masq on a server which has > a live ip address connected via 128K lease line.

Bucad isn't the rest of your network connected to the masq host, already? anyway, get another nic and/or read the net-4-howto. if you are going to have 2 addresses on the same nic, you just need to use ifconfig to add the 2nd address. raf _______________________________________________ Masq maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Admin requests can be handled at http://www.indyramp.com/masq-list/ -- THIS INCLUDES UNSUBSCRIBING! or email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] PLEASE read the HOWTO and search the archives before posting.
