Ok. I have spent the last 2 days messing with Dachstein (Floppy based). I still can't get it to work.
I have gone through all menu option on lrcfg about 20 times. I have looked over most of the documentation I have found. This is my situation: I am getting my DHCPACK from my ISP. DHCP on the external side is working and sets up. DHCP on the internal side seems to be working, as my XP box is pulling the IP, etc. from the LRP box. Under pretty much default settings, I can ping from both boxes to each other - but not to the outside world. When I attempt to ping from the client box out - I get request time outs. When I attempt to ping from the LRP out I get type 3 ping failure ("sendto():operation not permitted.) The documentation I could find indicated that this was a firewall issue possibly related to ipchains. I looked at ipchains, and really didn't have any idea where to start. So instead I just went into ipfilter.conf and commented the following line as so: # IPCH="sbin/ipchains --no-warnings" I figured this would just cut out all ip packet filtering, and at least narrow down the problem. After doing this, backing up, and rebooting - I can now ping out from the LRP box and can even resolve domain names. From the client box I can ping to the external node of the LRP box, but no further. It still get "request time out" on all outside pings. LRP Box Stats: p166 w/ 64mb internal IP 192.168.1.254 external IP 10.120.92.142 XP Box p550 w/256mb internal ip 192.168.1.1 gateway 192.168.1.254 dhcp server 192.168.1.254 dns1 24.116.0.81 dns2 24.116.0.201 Pretty much everything is set to default other than that one line I mentioned earlier. guitarlynn requested the following info: results of ip route show: 192.168.1.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.254 10.120.92.0/22 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link sc 10.120.92.142 default via 10.120.92.1 dev eth0 results of netstat -i Kernel Interface table Iface MTU Met RX-OK RX-ERR RX-DRP RX- OVR TX-OK TX-ERR TX-DRP TX-OVR Flg eth0 1500 0 620 0 0 0 106 0 0 0 BMRU eth1 1500 0 381 0 0 0 351 0 0 0 BMRU lo 3924 0 108 0 0 0 108 0 0 0 LRU I would guess turning off ipchains really isn't a good solution (especially since it doesn't fully solve the problem). Any help would be appreciated. If you need more info - just tell me what to send.
