I have a question regarding a firewall configuration I am attemping. I am using RH8 on a machine with 2 nics to create a packet filtering firewall using IPTABLES. I have configured the machine so that the external nic has a valid, internet-routable IP and the internal nic has a private IP (192.168.*.*) so that I can use network address translation. I have set up the rules and I can ping outside servers from the firewall (using the external nic) and I can ping the firewall from within the private network. Unfortunately, I have been unable thus far to get any kind of connection on the internal network. Am I missing a vital configuration step in setting up the 2 nics? I have the gateway of the external nic pointing at my router and the gateway of the internal nic pointing to the external nic. I have all the machines on the private network pointing to the internal nic on the firewall. In all of my research I cannot find anywhere that it gives explicit instructions on setting up the machine. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
