Subject: [newbie] as of last posting, i got ip-masquerading to work...
but...
I didn't realize the delay on these posts were over an hour. Thanks in
advance to anyone who answers it in the next hour. But I did get
IP-Masquerading to work. But I have more newbie questions.
First, is there a way to send an ifconfig command to eth0 before Linux
tries
to initialize it upon bootup? It keeps hanging for a few minutes and
failing
and then I have to poke it with an ifconfig command that changes some
specs.
It would be nice if I could automate this.
Also, according to the IP-Masquerading FAQ, there's a file called
/etc/rc.d/rc.firewall that I had to make for it to work. But after I made
it, and upon rebooting, it didn't take effect. I had to type all the code
at
the command prompt line-by-line before my Masquerading worked. So my
question is, what is this directory? Are all these rc files supposed to
automatically run on every bootup? Why didn't mine run? Do I have to assign
each one somewhere?
Much thanks in advance!
