I have a two computer setup - call them Machine A and Machine B. Machine A has mandriva LE2005 installed with: 1. two network interfaces (eth0 and eth0:0) configured on one ethernet card
2. shorewall firewall
3. BIND
and other server software.

A and B are linked via an ethernet switch. To the switch is also connected a broadband router for internet access. Machine A acts as a gateway to the internet for Machine B. My problem is that after both machines startup Machine A has instant internet access but Machine B does not. I then start up a terminal on A, su to root, cd to etc/rc.d/init.d and do the following one after the other:
./shorewall restart
./network restart
./named restart
After this both A and B have access to the internet.
Why does this have to be done? I tried to put the above in rc.local so that they are executed at start up. However, this does not work.
Grateful for help
Pramathesh
