Hi all, I have posted this problem before but got no reply. I tried surfing the web and tried various different things but can't get IP MAsq to work 100% well. 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 ( works sometimes) I have two problems : 1) I cannot ping any external IPs from my internal masqed m/c ( WIn box) except for the IP in Item 4 above. 2) As far pinging external IPs from my Linux server, it worked when I first set up MASq but then I shut down the server and restarted it the next day and pinging external IPs would just hang. I reinstalled RH7.2 with no firewall, then applied teh simple firewall ruleset from teh HOWto and once again I was able to ping external IPs from the Linux server ( no luck with windows still). I shutdown and restarted the next day and the same probelm happened - cannot ping extranl IPs from either linux or windows except for teh IP of the external interface. I am going nuts. Please help!!! I have FORWARD_IPV4 set to yes in /etc/sysconfig/network WHat am I missing?? ANy help will be appreciated. Thanks Venkat __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
