I just installed the ipmasq package, and hooked up my win98 box through my linux machine. The linux machine has 2 ethernet cards, eth1 is connected to the local net (the Windows machine), eth0 is connected to an ADSL line using PPPOE.
On the Windows machine, I can hit some web sites, but not others. On the linux machine, those same websites work fine in lynx. For example, www.sjgames.com works on both machines, while www.sciplus.com only works on the linux box. My ISP (Bell Sympatico) has a "transparent" caching proxy server installed on port 80; I suspect that that may be the cause of the problem. When I explicitly specified a proxy server in IE5 on the windows machine, some web sites that failed before started working (like the eservice.sympatico.ca site on Sympatico), but others (like www.sciplus.com) continued to fail. If the proxy server is messing with the returned http data so that my ipmasq rejects the packet, is there any way I can get ipchains/ipmasq to log the rejected packet so that I can figure out how to avoid this problem? Thanks, - Marc
