/* HINT: Search archives @ http://www.indyramp.com/masq/ before posting! /* ALSO: Don't quote this header. It makes you look lame :-) */ I seem to be having trouble getting IP masq. to work on my RH 7.1 box. setup: AMD Duron 750 w/ ASUS A7V Motherboard 256 MB 100Mhz SDRAM Software RAID-5 w/ ReiserFS filesystem 2x 3Com 3c905B NICs Outside network: Adelphia Cable Powerlink (cable modem) eth0 = DHCP Inside network: 192.168.1.0/24 eth1 = 192.168.1.254 I recompiled my kernel with the appropriate options enabled, FYI it's a monolithic kernel. Enabled net.ipv4.ip_forward =1 in /etc/sysctl.conf. Created /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables and started it. Setup my Win98 box w/ IP:192.168.1.10, SubnetMask:255.255.255.0, Disabled WINS, Gateway:192.168.1.254, DNS Host:barenaked, DNS Servers:24.48.33.2, 24.48.33.3 (as defined in /etc/resolve.conf). Now I can ping outside addresses, and do a reverse DNS lookup on them from my RH box (everything works fine from my RH box). I can only ping an IP Address from my Win98 box, not a host with a FQDN. I can not access a web page at all from my Win98 box by name or IP. And lastly if I do a "netstat -M" from my RH box i get "netstat: no support for 'ip_masquerade' on this system" in response. However if I stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables then masquerading works fine, even though netstat still reports "netstat: no support for 'ip_masquerade' on this system". I thought I needed iptables to be running iin order for IP Masq. to work. (would like it to for security reasons). Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
