I have a RH 6.2 server masquing for a win 98 pc. I followed all the how to steps, and from the server, I can ping both the static eth0 (192.168.0.1) and the DHCP eth1 (66.24.1.248) interfaces, and to the win 98 pc (192.168.0.2). From the win 98 pc I can ping its own ip, and both the eth0 and eth1 interfaces of the server, however I can not ping external ip addresses from the internet from the win pc. I can however ping external ip addresses from he linux server. I enabled networking + FORWARD_IPV4 in the network file and configured the rc.d document as specified in the HOWTO. The windows 98 client has linux server (192.168.0.1) set up as its primary gateway and has its Domain defined as twcny.rr.com with appropriate DNS servers. I have read through the HOWTO and through the mailings but could not find an answer. I suspect it may have something to do with what I did with the rc.d file. I made the file executable and added the following to the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file: echo "Loading the rc.firewall ruleset.." /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall I rebooted the machine but I noticed the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_always_defrag file that was supposed to be modified by the script was not modified to show a 1 instead of a 0, not even after reboot. Since I am a novice, I am not sure if there is anything else I have to do to the file or if this is even the problem. If you have any sugestions or could point me to some additional readings, I would greatly appreciate it.
