I am running RH6.0 on an older P75 with two network cards. The internal card ip/subnet is: 204.112.40.3/255.255.255.0 External card ip/subnet is: 24.68.176.193 255.255.255.0 I am also using Squid 2.2.STABLE4-5 installed from the rpm. We also have another router on for our WAN at 204.112.40.200. My first question is should I enable or disable ip forwarding on the firewall? In either case, how do I accomplish this and test to see if it is disabled or enabled? One method suggested from the Firewall/Proxy how-to was to try pinging the external card from another station on the LAN. Does that sound right? What results should I see? I had squid running and was receiving responses from it, but could not retrieve a web page. This sounds like my firewall rules are set wrong. I followed the rules in each of the Firewall, Squid (Transparent Proxy) and IPCHAINS how-to's and do not seem able to make a connection. Finally, our workstations here are using our router as the default gateway. Can I use another (or the same) Linux box as my default gateway and then configure it to redirect the internal addresses over the WAN? If so, what docs should I refer to in order to get started? This would be convenient in that I wouldn't have to configure every application that needed to get our through our firewall, it could be decided at the firewall (or router) itself. I am trying to get our firm a little more interested in Linux. If I can get this up and running that would certainly perk a few eyebrows and make a further foray in to it more likely. Finally, let me say that I am still somewhat uninitiated with respect to both Linux and this level of TCP/IP networking, so if some of the questions seem a bit stupid please be patient. I'll get it sorted out in time.
