Hi all, We have a mandrake box here, (7.2 with all updates) that is permanently connected to the net via ADSL with a static IP address... That is working just wonderfully, It uses an Alcatel Modem, that connects to the ph line at one side and via a crossed over network cable to eth0 of the server on the other side. We were then assigned another 4 IP's to use for Domains with our network, and I set them all up to be virtual IP's of eth0 and then I want to use port forwarding to send specific ports to the internal machines.. The port forwarding is working fine for the static IP (using Ipmasqadm and loving it.) and all internal machines can ping the new IP's, (which are in the range 203.59.xx.xx) but they are not getting out though the adsl connection and as such are not accessable to the net... its not a firewall stopping them, even with the firewall (modified PMfirewall) turned off, there is no connection, so I can only assume it has something to do with the ADSL or the modem,,, But I have never used ADSL before and don't really know the details of it... I have used the virtual IP method before, even with Dialup and I have one machine with 7 IP's set as virtual IP's on ppp0 and it works fantastically (also a mandrake 7.2 box), but it won't with ADSL, has anyone had this problem before? can anyone make suggestions as to what I might try? kindest regards, Frank
