Hi all,
I am having trouble in setting up masquerading.
The problem seems to be the use of the "-W <device>" parameter in the
ipfwadm operation in the original SuSE script (SuSE 5.3).
When I use exactly the same ipfwadm statement without the -W operand it
works fine. The <device> is taken from the Yast generation where it is
called MSQ_DEV. Which device should actually be used here? I tried them all:
eth0, sl0, ppp0. I tried also "*" and "all" but none of these works. All
(without "*") are accepted but when you start the masquerading this entry in
the forwarding table is never used - even when it is the first one there?
/sbin/init.d/masquerade list looks like this:
IP firewall forward rules, default policy: accept
pkts bytes type prot opt tosa tosx ifname ifaddress source
destination ports
0 0 acc/m all ---- 0xFF 0x00 all 0.0.0.0
192.168.0.0/24 0.0.0.0/0 n/a
15 878 acc/m all ---- 0xFF 0x00 * 0.0.0.0
192.168.0.0/24 0.0.0.0/0 n/a
IP masquerading entries
The first entry was a try where I used "all" as a possible device, here
called ifname. All rules are the same for the second entry.
The SuSE example uses "ISDN0" as the device name but I am still operating
with a modem, not on ISDN (still Too expensive here in NZ. It's a shame.)
Thanks for any help.
