Here again, I don't understand very well, so let's simplify it. I'll consider you have only one gateway : 192.168.1.1 > The system is triple booting Windows 2000/Mandrake8.0/Redhat7.1 with no > problems with the other router/firewall running iptables, snort, etc. ok, then you don't have connection problems > I have also tried the suggested dhcp incoming and DHCP to lan config where > on Eth1 I receive the internet from mediaone, and on Eth0 The lan computers > receive DHCP. Ok, i'll guess here you have a cable connection to mediaone 'so in the Internet access section you have cable, Lan connection. On the firewall (your choice to go there, through the ssh applet or through a terminal), type route -n Do the same thing on the client side and send the output in both cases. A simple question: Why setting up an internal dhcp server on the eth0 interface of the firewall, if you are using a static IP address for your test machine ? the dhcp server sets the dns entries in /etc/resolv.conf of the clients and sets the default route also for the client. That means you had to add the default route by hand on the client side. > This install is from a burned copy of SNF, that I made last night after > receiving the good news that it was available from a fellow Mandrake user. > > The only routes I need to set is from the internet to my local lan on the > 255.255.255.0 subnet on the 192.168.1.x network here i don't understand again the route oe is setting is to go outside your network, never the other way around from the internet to your inside lan. so, one firewall 192.168.1.1 (default route set up by mediaone on eth1) and 192.168.1.10 (default route is your gateway: 192.168.1.1 on eth0, the inly nic card on this computer) sincerely, -- Florin http://www.mandrakesoft.com
