|Subject: [Masq] Napster and Quicken don't work
|

|Before I lose any more hair...
|
|I have a gateway Linux box doing DHCP, masquerading/NAT, and SQUID for my
|local home LAN, and doing my dial-up to my ISP, and I cannot get
|Napster and
|more importantly Quicken updates to work through it.
|
|For purposes of this test/explanation I have disabled the firewall rules on
|my gateway system, and done the simplest:
|
|ipchains -A forward -i ppp0 -j MASQ
|

Huh?

Shouldn't that be more like...

sbin/ipchains -P forward DENY
sbin/ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -s 10.0.0.0/8 -d 0.0.0.0/0

Where 10.0.0.0/8 is the address of your Masq'd private network (the 8, is
the number of significant bits... I.E. 192.168.1.0/24 ,etc.)


|from a clean boot (IPsec disabled) and manually flushed (ipchains -f)
|system.
|
|From a Win98SE box on the LAN:
|
|I can't get Napster to work, It hangs on the MOTD, after finding and
|connecting to the server just fine (it says). I've tried the "firewalled"
|option on Install (V2.0 BETA 6 and 5), and even tried the "firewalled, but
|can open a port" option and manually opened a port on the firewall. I also
|tried Tapster running on a different Win box, just in case, same results.
|Napster works fine if I dial direct on the PC, and via Win98SE ICS.
|

Napster works fine from my masq'd box, though inbound file requests will
only work if you port forward "in" to the machine running napster.


|Quicken also hangs, and eventually times out on "Connecting to Financial
|Institution) and eventually times out with an error dialog: "Quicken was
|unable to obtain or update important information about this financial
|institution. There May be a problem with the Internet connection or the
|server. Please try again. [OL-231]". Quicken also works fine with a direct
|dial up and ICS.
|

See below...

|As I mentioned above it's really irritating that both applications
|will work
|fine with a Windows98 Second Edition system with Internet
|Connection Sharing
|loaded, not to mention a little embarrassing.
|

What you didn't say, is if you are running Quicken on ANOTHER machine that
is using ICS "from" the other box which -is- connected.

ICS is not as smart as Masq. If Quicken works on a client (one not connected
to the internet via a modem or other device) then it should work with Masq.
