Hello,
I have been able to get my firewall script to work (with masq functionality)
but not without having to go through this strange morning ritual everytime I
boot my computer:
I have a home network (redhat 7.2), where my external device is ppp0 (dynamic
ip)---my other pc has XP home edition.
Each morning, I must go through the following steps:
1. Delete the following network information.
ip: 192.168.0.1
subnet: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.0.254
2. restart the network services.
3. dial the modem, which also executes the rc.firewall 2.4 stronger rules
through ipp-up.
4. change the internal ip address back to its original configuration that is
located in step one.
5. Restart the network services again.
This is the ONLY way I have been able to get ip masquerading to work on my
computer. The rc.firewall rules are first executed when the computer boots
/etc/rc.d/rc.local (as per the instructions that I have found in the
documentation), but I suspect that I could/should change the order in which
this is executed at boot time.
I have read the docs and searched the mailing lists, but I have had no luck.
Any advice? Suggestions?
I'm a novice, so please be kind!
Jason
