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. -JMS _______________________________________________ Masq maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Admin requests can be handled at http://www.indyramp.com/masq-list/ -- THIS INCLUDES UNSUBSCRIBING! or email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] PLEASE read the HOWTO and search the archives before posting.
