Any nice ideas?
It's a router. Routers route. If you want or need to route something you are unable to route, tell us about it and we may be able to help. (The usual candidates for "something" are picky services that need particular ports or range of ports forwarded to NAT'd hosts.) Dachstein can be used to do other things, but doing them on a router/firewall generally isn't a good idea. Usually, you want your router just to do routing sorts of things ... routing itself, NAT'ing, other firewalling, port-forwarding particular services, and possibly a couple of other things that are customarily associated with home and small business routers (e.g., DNS forwarding, DHCP address assignment to the LAN). Dachstein does this small set of stuff prety much out of the box. >Well I have some small questions already: > >- I use MSN Messenger, and with program you can send/receive files from >other people. >With my current LRP setup, I'm only able to receive files.

I don't know this service, but forwarding of specific services is usually accomplished via the kernel's firewalling code. In your case, this gets set up with EchoWall. If it doesn't include a preconfigured choice for "MSN Messenger", you'll need to add one. >- how does Echowall work exactly on top of Dachstein??? The leaf-user list is not the place to get general tutorials; it is a place to ask specific, focused questions. For general overviews, please read the EchoWall docs. >- Is it possible to have IIS webserver running behind my LRP box (on a local >pc with let's say ip 192.168.1.3) and make it communicate with the outside? >My outside ip is something like 212.68.38.23 >and when i go with a browser to this IP on port 80, I want to access the IIS >website on local pc 192.168.1.3 From the outside, you will need to access it as http://212.68.38.23 (or some FQN that resolves to that IP address). Except for that part, yes, you can do what you describe; it is a very standard port-forwarding task. >I assume I need to forward my incoming request on port 80 on my router, to >forward them to my local PC with IIS. > >- I want to do the same for FTP, incoming traffic at port 21 or something to >forward to an internal ftp server. OK. EchoWall has both of these services (and many others) as built-in options. You just need to identify the hosts involved in the EchoWall setup file. >- is there a way how to see what's all happening at my server? I know there >is the monitor on 192.168.1.254 but still I have no idea what's going on at >all. "see what's all happening" is a bit unfocused. There are many tools you can use to monitor specific things, but you need to have some idea what it is that you want to monitor. I'm not even sure from what you wrote whether you want to monitor your server's behavior remotely or have your server monitor the router. >- I have a 1,6 GB HD laying around. Any nice things I can do with that on my >router? Routing is a minimalist sort of thing; generally, routers don't benefit from having enormous filesystems on them (it could even be a slight weakness, as it is one more unneeded thing that someone trying to break into your system might exploit). You might consider whether your setup would benefit from running a proxy server, like Squid or Junkbuster, on the router, rather than having it directly NAT outgoing connections to http and ftp servers. If so, the disk space would provide room for caching. >Lot's of questions, hope some one can answer some of them.
