/* HINT: Search archives @ http://www.indyramp.com/masq/ before posting! /* ALSO: Don't quote this header. It makes you look lame :-) */ I've posted a few problems to this list to no solution. It seems that my rules are set up right and everything is compiled into the kernel and working OK, but still no packets get from ppp to eth and vice versa in my RedHat 6.2 box. The other box is a Windows 98 on my local LAN and all that works well. From the PMfirewall list I've received some comments that my routing table is not correct, but I've been unable to correct it. Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0 63.252.247.45 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 63.252.247.45 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0 You will notice that the 63.252.247.45 ppp0 address is added when ppp initializes and the default route is run from the ifcfg script and it is also the gateway to 0.0.0.0. That is not my local address, but the remote IP of my ISP. It's the P-t-P address. I don't see my local address in the routing table, but it is available from ifconfig. My masq firewall rules grep the local ppp address for the external interface from ifconfig. Do any of you see a routing problem here? Should 63.252.247.45 be added as host and what should the gateway to 0.0.0.0 be? And do I even need the eth0 192.168.1.1 host IP in the routing table?
