I have installed Mandrake SNF on an elderly HP Ventra with a 200MHz Pentium Pro in a test-bed configuration. I have it set up with eth0 (ne2k-pci card - 192.168.3.34) connected to the LAN side of my network and eth1 (3c59x - 192.168.4.34) running through a crossover cable to a laptop acting as a stand-in for the internet. >From the HP firewall, I can ping both of its NICs and can also ping the 'internet' (laptop - 192.168.4.65) and any internal machine (say: 192.168.3.45), so the TCP/IP stuff seems to be fine. I can connect to the HP firewall with either ssh or Mandrake Security (port 8443: I intentionally set it up to allow both) from either the LAN side or the 'internet' side, but I cannot connect from the LAN side to the internet side at all. Mandrake Security - Restrict Access lists Firewall Rules on and Mandrake Security - Internet Access lists Access Status Down and no amount of poking 'Start' or 'Stop', in any combination, seems to change its status. . . sigh Any hints on how I should proceed would be appreciated. Thank you in advance. John T (BTW what does 'Test' do?)
