/* HINT: Search archives @ http://www.indyramp.com/masq/ before posting! /* ALSO: Don't quote this header. It makes you look lame :-) */ Hi All: I hate to be ignorant but the present beta Masquerade HowTO doesn't work - period! Here are the basic rules; iptables -P FORWARD DROP iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE All I can say is that it is totally useless. Further, I have emailed the maintainer and have not heard back from him. We are now into 2.4.7 kernel and still no functional HowTO! If I wasn't so useless I would do it myself. Perhaps somebody can give me a simple ruleset that I can build upon. In the meantime, I have enabled ipchains support in the 2.4.6 and use my old ruleset; depmod -a modprobe ipchains ipchains -P forward DENY ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.0.0/24 -j MASQ The problem with the above is that I can't run any of the premade modules for ipchains AND I can't run any of the many iptables facilities. I have posted questions in a few newsgroups and nobody seems to have a working answer (the one or two that did have it working were wide open - totally porous!) I have examined and borrowed from "firewall-0.5.5.tar.gz" and although I can appreciate all the programming I haven't had much success with the parts I have tried - I run Slackware and won't be changing anytime soon so it won't run out of the box. Thanks for the help.
