Hello,
I just started using ipchains and ip_masquerade. Cool idea, but it
has not been very stable on my linux boxes.
Setup: host1 = PII-300 on internet with T1 connection running
ipchains and ip_masquerade, with 10 MB ethernet card
host2 = PIII-600 on private net connected to host1 with 100 MB
ethernet card
host3 = Win-98 box on private net with 100 MB ethernet card
The linux boxes are running Mandrake 6.1, stock 2.2.13-7mdk kernel.
Things start fine, netscape, telnet, etc.
Then host2 starts to randomly drop the connection to the
outside. Works for several minutes, then stops.
Strangely enough, host3 (running Win) works fine so far.
Any ideas? Are there others using Mandrake with ipchains and ip_masq
with no problems?
TIA,
-sen
