Does any one know how I can manipulate the IPTABLES to provide seamless connection for yahoo messengers? My linux box is running RH 8.0 and sits between an ADSL (cable) modem and a DLink 24 port switch. Messengers are now connecting through http proxy. previously this box was running RH 6.2 and the ipchains -P forward -j MASQ would enable this. But I cannot make IPTables understand this. And my major problem is that they frequently use dialup and what I have done is rewrite the default gateway whenever the dialup is connected (ip-up.local) and rewrite the gateway on disconnection(ip-down.local), so I will need the ip forwarding to work in this condition too. I am not bothered about the security since the ISP has blocked all service ports in their firewall side, so I am pretty sure that no one can even run a port scan on the said machine.
Shekhar: your squid config worked like charm but i added the cache dir statement also and made the cache 500MB. thanks jiju ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
