Hey all...
Well, I spent about 4 hours last night and got everything
working! 3 of those hours were spent trying to get my
second NIC to be recognized though. It turns out all
I had to do to get the second one working was add
it's base port address to the options in /etc/conf.modules.
Both NICs are ISA NE2000s which is definately a
blessing. Here's what I have for /etc/conf.modules now:
alias eth0 ne
options ne io=0x300,0x320
alias eth1 ne
All I had to do was add that 0x320 to options and voila!
I used a handy app called netconf to set up the addresses
of the second card and ifconfig came up configured
already which I'm glad about because I still don't fully
understand all of it's options.
As for the masquerading, just two simple commands
work great for me. I added these to my rc.local:
ipfwadm -F -a deny
ipfwadm -F -a accept -m -S 192.168.0.1/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0
192.168.0.1 is the address of eth1, the NIC for the internal
network. I know, this is bad for security or whatever but
I don't have anything particularly sensitive on my Win95
machine so I don't care. I tried out browsing, mail, Quake2,
GameSpy, ICQ and FTP and all worked no problem. The
only problem I did find was trying to upload to a remote
FTP site. It seems that to upload, FTP software sends a
PORT command, the data of which includes the client's
IP address. Since this IP is invalid to the rest of the world,
it doesn't work. Ah well, I can live with that 8-)
Anyway, thanks for the help I'm sure you would have given
me had I aksed, CYA!
