Can you do a little ascii sketch of how things are connected? When
you say "I can ping both nics in the Mandrake box from the client"
that makes me wonder if you have both router nics plugged into the
same hub. A simple firewall/router setup *should* look something like
this:
Internet
cablemodem
|
|
eth0
firewall/router
eth1
|
|
client---hub---client
|
|
client
Once everything is connected right, you'll need to configure the
firewall to masquerade your internet connection to the systems on your
local network.
Sincerely,

Subject: [newbie] Router/firwall
I am trying to setup a router/firewall.
Installed the nic
set eth0 to the 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
set eth1 to the ISP static IP address and mask.
Connected the computers .
I can ping anything from the Mandrake 9.0 box.
I can ping both nics in the Mandrake box from the client
I can ping the mandrake box eth1 from an outside computer
but I cannot get outside the from the client in the network.
I cannot ping the ISP's gateway or anthing else outside the eth1 nic.
What have a done wrong?
Thanks
