I have Red Hat 6.0 and I want to share a 56k modem connection over my local
LAN. I have the ppp connection working on my linux box already, and can
successfully ping and hostname lookup on that connection.
I am using ipchains which came with red hat, and the semi-strong ruleset from
the ip-masq-howto 1.79. I have configured the ipchains ruleset correctly as
far as i know with the correct ip addresses (192.168.100.*) at the top of the
file, and set up the dynamic ip bit for getting my ip address like so:
#CRITICAL: Enable IP forwarding since it is disabled by default since
#
# Redhat Users: you may try changing the options in
/etc/sysconfig/network from:
#
# FORWARD_IPV4=false
# to
# FORWARD_IPV4=true
#
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
# Get the dynamic IP address assigned via DHCP
#
extip="`/sbin/ifconfig ppp0 | grep 'inet addr' | awk '{print $2}' | sed -e
's/.*://'`"
extint="ppp0"
# Assign the internal IP
intint="eth0"
intnet="192.168.100.0/24"
i hope that this is correct, it looks so, but i have not trained well enough
to be an official linux boff yet, so i may overlook details somewhat.
I find that when i execute the script via the command line, it says:
bash: /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall: No such file or directory
I have checked, double checked and triple checked to see that i have typed
right, put the script in the right place and set it all up correctly, but the
error still appears. if you would like a copy of the whole rc.firewall file
that i have, mail me and i will gladly send it to you.
I thought that it may just be saying that but ipmasq will still work, but i
have followed the howto very closely on my other boxes to get them set up with
gateways etc. and they cannot access the internet, or ping hosts or ip
addresses. i can ping the linux box fine, and i have all the forwarding set to
true and 1 on the linux box (i have read the howto VERY closely).
Please help,
Edmund Craske
