Hi all! After the firmware upgrade of my modem/router, I have strange behaviour with my lan: I can ping the internet from my clients but not from the gateway machine !
Here is the setup: internet ---- modem ------- eth0 (gateway) ath0 -------- eth0 (client) with : modem LAN : 192.168.1.1 modem WAN : dhcp eth0 gateway : dhcp ath0 : 192.168.20.1 (fixe) eth0 client : 192.168.20.3 (fixe) both running Debian Sarge kernel 2.6 I enabled the NAT mode on the modem so that all trafic goes on eth0 on which I have the following iptables ruleset: gateway# iptables-save # Generated by iptables-save v1.2.11 on Fri Apr 15 10:10:33 2005 *filter :INPUT DROP [10:878] :FORWARD DROP [9:360] :OUTPUT DROP [82:15508] -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s 192.168.20.0/255.255.255.0 -d 192.168.20.1 -i ath0 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s 192.168.20.255 -d 192.168.20.1 -i ath0 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -j ULOG --ulog-prefix "Netfilter" -A FORWARD -s 192.168.20.0/255.255.255.0 -i ath0 -o eth0 -m state --state NEW,RELATED,ESTABLISHED,UNTRACKED -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -d 192.168.20.0/255.255.255.0 -i eth0 -o ath0 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT -A OUTPUT -o lo -j ACCEPT -A OUTPUT -s 192.168.20.1 -d 192.168.20.0/255.255.255.0 -o ath0 -j ACCEPT -A OUTPUT -s 192.168.20.1 -d 192.168.20.255 -o ath0 -j ACCEPT -A OUTPUT -j ULOG --ulog-prefix "Netfilter" COMMIT # Completed on Fri Apr 15 10:10:33 2005 # Generated by iptables-save v1.2.11 on Fri Apr 15 10:10:33 2005 *nat :PREROUTING ACCEPT [227:28353] :POSTROUTING ACCEPT [9:743] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [80:4951] -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.20.0/255.255.255.0 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE COMMIT # Completed on Fri Apr 15 10:10:33 2005 gateway# ping 192.168.1.1 PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1): 56 data bytes ping: sendto: Operation not permitted ping: wrote 192.168.1.1 64 chars, ret=-1 but as I said, from the client it's ok.. and : gateway # route Table de routage IP du noyau Destination Passerelle Genmask Indic Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.20.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 ath0 192.168.2.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 ok no? So what's wrong? I haven't changed anything in my setup, so I don't really understand what's going on (learning ..) What have I missed? Any help is welcomed ;-) Greetings Thanks steve -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
