Hoi Masq,
I have set up a linux box to connect our local win95(sorry) network to
internet via a slip connection using a cable modem. And everything
works, except email. (for the detectives among you: I'am sending this
from my own computer temporarily connected with the cable modem)
Here's the setup:
local machines(win95): linux box: ISP
192.168.0.2---\eth slip
|---192.168.0.1 195.96.12x.x--------195.96.120.254
192.168.0.3---/
And I use IPFWADM to set default forwarding accept and masquerading (i
know, i know) and use DIALD to set up the connection(currently
*ALWAYS* up)
My kernel is version 2.0.35 and I use IPFWADM 2.3.0 . I have made all
the modules and turned on the option ICMP masquerading in kernel
config.
Like I said, everything works, even receiving email! BUT, whenever I
want to send email, whatever emailclient I use, it fails. I use the
SMTP server of the ISP but I have tried several other SMTP servers
with the same result. The emailclient I regulary use gives this output
when I send mail: logging on to server, sending message header,
sending message text and when the status bar reaches 100% it just
waits...
So I logged on to the server (=linux box) en did a NETSTAT, and this
is what it said:
Proto Recv.-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State
tcp 1 0 8dyn25.delft.casema.net:auth sun4000.casema.net:45710 Time Wait
When I use the cable modem on my personal computer it works fine! (You
reading this email proofs it)
Does anybody recognizes this problem? Please help me out here, because
I ran out of ideas...
Greetz,
Pimmus.
