Hi folks. I have a couple of questions regarding the use of IPTables
alongside with the Israeli way of cables connection (PPTP on top of
DHCP). Now, I`m using Firehol (http://firehol.sourceforge.net) to make
IPTables configuration easier, however, adjusting the resulting script
isn't a problem.
My confusion stems mainly from the fact that when establishing the
connection, two interfaces related to the connection are created. eth0
is created when entering AZTV's local loop after getting an IP from the
DHCP server, and afterwards, ppp0 is created after connecting to the
ISP's server inside the local loop. What I wanted to know, when
configuring ppp0, should I tell the firewall to route the packets
through eth0? This is according to the routing configuration, since
packets sent to the ISP's gateway are indeed routed through the local
loop gateway. I tried setting this up ignoring the routing options,
however, communication with the outside world promptly failed upon this.
I am guessing that the packets weren't being routed correctly.
Is anyone here using IPTables with a cables connection? I'd love to see
how.
