I just found LEAF yesterday after my hard drive in my old linux router crashed. I thought this was a good way of doing things and I didn't want to have to buy another hard drive to put in there.
I downloaded the 1.0.2 version (Dachstein Floppy Based) of LEAF and started about 5:30pm to get it working. I booted up and configured the modules for my 2 NIC cards just fine. I got DHCP working famously and from there it all went to hell. I couldn't PING anything and couldn't get out on the network from the box. After calling my Cable Modem company to insure they didn't need to flip any switches to get my going again, I scoured the mail list archives. I found the faq that told me what was happening and why I couldn't PING. It was an ipchains problem but I didn't know what to do to fix it. See my cable company doesn't give out "real" IPs they use a form of IPMasq themselves so my IP address is 192.168.107.40 on their internal network. Also my gateway is an internal IP address 192.168.96.0. Well all these addresses are being denied via ipchains. About midnight I finally just flushed everything in ipchains and set it up (somehow) so I could forward packets for my specific IP address and I finally got out. This approach will only work till I reboot the machine however. I would like to find out what I need to do to get the ipchains to accept my private IP via the cable company and let it forward out but still secure myself against attack. I'm at work now and don't have access to my box but can provide any info when I get home of what is needed.
