Gateway setup and Windows?

[Dave Brooks, BCS Systems]

Hello all,

I have diald working on the gateway machine but can not get Windows
clients to go through it. Under Windows, TCP/IP properties/gateway is set
to the Linux IP address (which I can happily ping). However, a ping to
(say) sun.com doesn't appear to even get as far as the Linux machine
(which is watching with tcpdump). If I bring the link up under Linux and
add a specific route to an outside address via the gateway (from the DOS
command prompt) then I can ping the address.

Any clues please... I suspect MS software - Grrrrr.

I have ipchains set up as follows:

Chain input (policy ACCEPT):
Chain forward (policy DENY):
target   prot opt    
source          
destination   ports
MASQ     all  ------ 
192.168.1.0/24   anywhere     
n/a
DENY     tcp  ------ 
anywhere        
anywhere      netbios-ns:netbios-ssn ->
any
DENY     udp  ------ 
anywhere        
anywhere      netbios-ns:netbios-ssn ->
any
Chain output (policy ACCEPT):


Many thanks,


Dave
