Now that I'm redaing my own post, I realise I
didn't put my actual question in it.
Browsing FTP sites with IE doesn't work when the
firewall is down (squid's still up) but downloading files from FTP servers (ftp.rpmfind.net for instance) is working
allright.
It's as if browsing FTP sites is handled by the
masquerading bit of IPtables, though I told IE to use the proxy server. I hope
someone can figure this one out.
Hi,
I have a strange problem: I have Squid 2.4
running, and an IPtables firewall, both on the same RH 7.2 box. The box acts
as a router for 1 win box. When both squid and the firewall are running, I can
access every FTP site I like. However, when I stop the firewall I can't
reach any FTP site anymore. IE waits for about 2 mins. then it seems to reach
the FTP-site, but then, after 30 secs., comes with a timeout message. When I
start the firewall script again, everythings fine again.
IE on my win box is configured to use the proxy
for all protocols.
Notes: The firewall is configured for
masquerading (due to games not working through the proxy) and when i stop the
firewall script the last two rules are:
iptables -F INPUT
iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
Thanx
Patrick
