Dear All, The ISP guys called up and said some port was changed at their end and hence the problem, but i would like to know once there was no gateway route/path on the Internet Server, how come the LAN users were able to browse from their workstation after the port was changed at the BSNL end before me running the firewall Script which starts the adsl connection and assigns IP to the ppp0 interface, this boggles my mind.
During that time when this problem occurred, following was observed on the Internet Server: ifconfig eth1 had its IP set OK (i.e our internal LAN IP) ifconfig ppp0 had NO IP assigned (Public IP-Dynamic) since as BSNL said they were changing some port at their end. IP forwarding was OK.
