As for firewalls, just switch them off until you know things work!
It's the only way to route IP traffic through to the Debian lappie;
can't spot any firewall controls that end though yet.
the gateway (254) firewall may be dropping pings on the internal
interface to the lappie (1).
So far, I've always tested the link using pings, with no problem at Gateway.
Something like-
drop pings
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -i $INTERNAL -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j DROP
drop pongs
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -i $INTERNAL -p icmp --icmp-type echo-reply -j DROP
take a look at the iptables script and change icmp echo's to ACCEPT for the
internal network.
I don't have those lines at all, but only this:
$IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $EXTIF -s 192.168.0.1/32 -j MASQUERADE
Gateway end is not the problem. It always works.
hth,
keith.
