Re: [newbie] Router/firwall

Dennis, that almost was it.  But not quite. I have a static IP on the client 192.168.1.50 I tried to reconfigure the Internet Connection sharing and it would not let me change any of the settings.  It defaulted to 192.168.1.1 as the dns server and prveiously I had the ISP dns server there.  When I restarted using 192.168.1.1 as the dns server, all works fine.   So from my thinking, it appears that this ICS automatically installs named as a cacheing dns server and the only way it will work is using the internal nic ip as the dns server. I still don't understand why that prevented ping from going outside.  But at least it is now working.   Thanks all for you input on this problem.  ----- Original Message ----- From: Myers, Dennis R NWO To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: Tuesday, December 31, 2002 11:52 AM Subject: RE: [newbie] Router/firwall Do you have the client computer set for internet connection as a static IP address? I have not been able to get my firewall/router to work properly without setting the client machines to dhcp. Look in MCC and internet connection, if it is set as static change to dhcp and see if you can get out.

Installed the nic set eth0 to the 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 set eth1 to the ISP static IP address and mask.   Connected the computers . I can ping anything from the Mandrake 9.0 box. I can ping both nics in the Mandrake box from the client I can ping the mandrake box eth1 from an outside computer but I cannot get outside the from the client in the network. I cannot ping the ISP's gateway or anthing else outside the eth1 nic.   What have a done wrong?   Thanks
