Hi, I've read teh IP MASQ HOWTO and have got quite a bit accomplished. My problem is that my internal mASQed m/c is not able to ping external addresses on the internet. I am Running RH7.2 Kernel 2.4.10 and using IPTables with the simple firewall ruleset mentioned in the MASQ HOWTO. I have two interfaces on the Linux server eth0 ( esternal) and eth1 ( internal). I have eth0 pick up its IP address by DHCP and eth1 is set to 192.168.1.1. My internal MASqed m/c is a Win98 one and has gateway set to 192.168.1.1 and its IP set to 192.168.1.2. The following are succesful 1) Pinging the linux m/c from win 98 2) Pinging the win m/c from Linux 3) Pinging from Linux m/c to the Ip address of external interface 4) Pinging from WIn m/c to IP address of external interface 5) Pinging any external IP address from Linux box Here's the problem. I can even ping any external Ip address from the Linux box but CANNOT ping any external Ip address from the WIn 98 box ( except for the IP adress of the external interface mentioned in item 4 above). I have FORWARD_IPV4 set to TRUE/yes (I tried both) in /etc/sysconfig/network WHat am I missing?? ANy help will be appreciated.
