I'm running 192.168.1.x network at home where I have several computers. One is a Win98 box. I would like to block it from access to the internet (no security), yet maintain its ablility to talk to other computers and print servers on my internal network. I'm using a separate RH9 box for my firewall with a 10.0.0.2 address talking to my DSL Modem at 10.0.0.1, both hard coded. I've been using gShield to configure my fw which has been rock solid for more that three years, however, it does not have any features that I recognize to block clients, only external hosts. So I've been trying to add rules to iptables directly to effect blockage.

I've tried -

iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.1.x -d 10.0.0.1 -j DROP
iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.1.x -p ALL -d 10.0.0.1 -j DROP
iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.1.x -p ALL --dport 80 -j DROP
iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.1.x.-p ALL --multiport -dport 80,8080,8008,443 -j DROP

and many variations of the above. Yet none of them stop MSExplorer from accessing the net. Not being a network guy but an Oracle guy, I need a bit of help to solve this problem. Could someone out there help out a floundering DBA?


Try such rules in POSTROUTING of the nat table, or in the OUTPUT or FORWARD chains of the filter table. Obviously these need to preceed any other rules that would move then to another chain or table as is likely happening with your INPUT chain.

I'd personally recommend POSTROUTING of the nat table.
