Hey guys,

I've got a linux box here which acts as a simple gateway. 

It has an eth0 interface (10.0.0.110) which is the interface through which
the rest of the computers on the lan send their requests. 

It has an eth1 which is where I have an airbridge device plugged into which
provides microwave connectivity.

I'm then running rp-pppoe-3.3-1 to do PPPoE over eth1. This works fine and
creates a ppp0 inteface.

I've changed my $EXTIF in my firewall script to point to ppp0 rather than
eth1, but this is preenting problems. While client computers can ping
external addresses (i.e icmp works fine), any tcp requests like web or
telnet are failing.

If I'm on the gateway box, I can telnet to an outside box, however if I bind
the source address to an internal ip (i.e telnet -b 10.0.0.110 <destination
ip>), telnet fails to connect.

Does anyone have any pointers / explanations on how I should go about
modifying the firewall?

The info section...

And my firewall script is attached to this email.

Thanks in advance to anyone who reads this and to anyone who can help :)
