I've written about this before, but now I've realized I can't play bzlfag, so it's altogether much more important to fix. I have two computers, both Mandrake 9.1. One I'll call the router, the other the laptop. The router has 2 network cards, the laptop one. eth0 of the router is hooked to the cable modem, eth1 to a hub. eth0 of the laptop is also connected to the hub. I used Mandrake internet connection sharing wizard to get the laptop connected through the router to the internet. Everything works great, except, I can't ssh from the router to the laptop, and the laptop cannot connect to a bzflag server running on the router. Upon further investigation, it doesn't appear that a bzflag server running on the laptop can be reached from the router either. I would be less confused but a webserver running on the laptop can be reached from the router, as well as the little webserver run by cups on the laptop can be reached from the server.
Additional information that may be helpful: Shorewall is not running on the laptop. I've pulled up ethereal and ssh packets never make it to the laptop from the router. I've read the iptables manpage and looked at the output of iptables -L -v and haven't been able to make much sense of it. I can ssh to the router from the internet, as well as access web pages it is serving. Ssh would be nice, I really want to be able to play bzflag on my little home network. What else would a little home network be good for?
