Looking through the archives (even as of late) it has come to my attention that many hold the same position on this situation as I do..
i have a 400mhz p2 system, 256MB RAM, Bering v1.0 rc2 with a 3com 3c905c-tx-m pci card, an ISA-to-PCMCIA card, and an Orinoco wireless "SILVER" card, flash version 6.06 (as reported by /var/log/syslog). eth0 is my INTERNAL network (ethernet 3com card) and eth1 is my EXTERNAL network (Orinoco wireless). The card is intialized and configured correctly, that is, i recieve two beeps and "ip addr show" reports: 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 brd 127.255.255.255 scope host lo 2: dummy0: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop link/ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 3: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 100 link/ether 00:04:76:e2:6c:6c brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.0.1.7/24 brd 192.0.1.255 scope global eth0 4: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 100 link/ether 00:02:2d:08:fc:27 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 65.121.99.173/25 brd 65.121.99.255 scope global eth1 iwconfig reports: eth1 IEEE 802.11-DS ESSID:"BERING" Nickname:"HOME" Mode:Ad-Hoc Frequency:2.437GHz Cell: 00:02:2D:08:FC:27 Bit Rate=2Mb/s Tx-Power=15 dBm Sensitivity:1/3 Retry limit:4 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 i can ping from my internal (eth0) network to the router. i can ping from the router to the internal (eth0) interface. i can ping eth1 from the router (to verify that the ip is indeed being assigned to the wireless card) one thing that i thought of while i was configuring everything (and something that could very well easily be overlooked) is to change the ip_forward variable in /etc/network/options to yes. this is correct, right? just for fun i'll include the routing files, so get a deep breath. #Interfaces file #ZONE INTERFACE BROADCAST OPTIONS loc eth0 192.0.1.255 routestopped net eth1 65.121.99.255 routefilter,norfc1918 #LAST LINE -- ADD YOUR ENTRIES BEFORE THIS ONE -- DO NOT REMOVE #Masq file #INTERFACE SUBNET eth1 eth0 #LAST LINE -- ADD YOUR ENTRIES ABOVE THIS LINE -- DO NOT REMOVE Note that I have policies set to forward www, mail, and some others in this file as well.. #Policy file #SOURCE DESTINATION POLICY LOG LEVEL loc net ACCEPT # # If you want open access to the internet from your firewall, uncomment the # following line fw net ACCEPT net all DROP info all all REJECT info #LAST LINE -- ADD YOUR ENTRIES ABOVE THIS LINE -- DO NOT REMOTE #RESULT CLIENT(S) SERVER(S) PROTO PORT(S) CLIENT PORT(S) ADDRESS # # # To avoid connection delays, reject AUTH if the user hasn't ACCEPTED it above # REJECT net fw tcp 113 # # Accept DNS connections from the firewall to the network # ACCEPT fw net tcp 53 ACCEPT fw net udp 53 # # Accept SSH connections from the local network for administration # ACCEPT loc fw tcp 22 # # Make ping work # ACCEPT fw loc icmp 8 ACCEPT loc fw icmp 8 ACCEPT fw net icmp 8 # Bering specific rules: # allow loc to fw udp/53 for dnscache to work # allow loc to fw tcp/80 for weblet to work # ACCEPT loc fw udp 53 ACCEPT loc fw tcp 80 #following edited by matt for port forwarding to the mail and www servers #(port forwarding) ACCEPT net loc:192.0.1.1 tcp 25 - 65.121.99.173 ACCEPT net loc:192.0.1.1 tcp 110 - 65.121.99.173 ACCEPT net loc:192.0.1.1 tcp 80 - 65.121.99.173 ACCEPT net loc:192.0.1.1 tcp 143 - 65.121.99.173 #LAST LINE -- ADD YOUR ENTRIES BEFORE THIS ONE -- DO NOT REMOVE #Zones file #ZONE DISPLAY COMMENTS net Net Internet loc Local Local networks #LAST LINE - ADD YOUR ENTRIES ABOVE THIS ONE - DO NOT REMOVE any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated. -Matt Russell _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
