Hi guys. I have a RH 7.1 box running which I intended to use as a firewall and router for the families's windows boxes with an ADSL connection through an external Zyxel Prestige 645 modem.
For testing I got the ADSL connection up and running and from that machine I can connect to the Internet and everything is ok. Now the RH box has two nics's. Eth0 (10.0.0.132/16)is connected to the modem and eth1 (192.168.1.254/24) is connected to the lan. Running 'netstat -rn' gives this output: root@vesturgate /root]# netstat -rn Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 157.157.56.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 40 0 0 ppp0 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 40 0 0 eth0 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 40 0 0 eth1 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 40 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 157.157.56.1 0.0.0.0 UG 40 0 0 ppp0 and I ran the command 'echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward' The win98 machine (192.168.1.135/24) I configured with the eth0 address as default gateway and for the dns I used the addresses from my ISP, the same as in the '/etc/resolv.conf' file on the RH box. The routing table on the win98 box looks like this: Network Address Netmask Gateway Address Interface Metric 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.254 192.168.1.135 1 127.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 1 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0192.168.1.135 192.168.1.135 1 192.168.1.135 255.255.255.255 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 1 192.168.1.255-255.255.255.255 192.168.1.135-192.168.1.135 1 224.0.0.0 224.0.0.0 192.168.1.135 192.168.1.135 1 255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.135-0.0.0.0 1 Now comes my problem. When I try to ping the outside world from the win98 box I get the 'unknown hosts' message. When I try to ping the DNS addresses I get the 'request timed out' message. IPTABLES have not been configured yet, the RH box is wide open both ways (I think). Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, brgds, Ragnar W. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
