It makes you look lame :-) */ I've tried everything the IP-Masq, Net and Ipchains HOWTOs suggest and still my private network will not see the outside internet. I'm running Redhat 6.2 on my server, which has the ppp link to my ISP. The kernel is compiled correctly to support masquerading. I'm running a caching nameserver. I use the rc.firewall script from the IP-Masquerage-HOWTO. The modules are loaded and forwarding, etc., (in /proc/sys/net) are set to "1". The other computer on my net is Windows 98. My private network by ethernet works fine and has for a long time. I use the 192.168.0.x addresses. When I use the very basic IP-Masq rules the Windows box can lookup the net name address and get the IP address, but apparently there is no route to the internet and requests time out and there is no actvity going to ppp0. Yes, ppp0 is the default route. I'd like to see a simple rc.firewall script that has the correct ipchains implementation. It would be a good idea for home networkers to offer a simple script to get their PPP connection to masq to a private home network.
