Alright, i've come to an impasse concerning ip chains, and would be
eternally grateful for any help i can get. In short, trying to use ip
chains to set up a transparent proxy. here is my setup.
cable modem
1 linux box
1 windows machine
cable modem<--->linux<--->hub<-->windows
LINUX
eth0
ip: 192.168.0.1 (reserved for "private" networks)
subnet: 255.255.255.0
eth1
ip: assigned by dhcp
subnet: 255.255.255.0 (but assigned 255.255.255.255 by the modem)
WINDOWS
ip: 192.168.0.3
subnet: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.0.1 or dhcp assigned ip (depending on which howto i
was following)
1st question (the easy one). as far as windows machine, are you suppose to
use the static ip address, or the one that is assigned by the cable modem
for as the gateway? (i've tried both)
Now, since i know my network cards are working, and i know that i can access
the internet from my linux box, this leads me to believe the problem is most
likely to do with the ip chains service.
if i do:
ipchains -L
I get:
input = ACCEPT
forward = ACCEPT
output = ACCEPT
Is this an indication that ipchains is running?
NOTE: That's without my rc.firewall scripts running. I have tried using 2
different sample scripts, but using them doesn help. is the rc.firewall
vital for ip chains, or is it just for security purposes?
I've double checked everything i can think of and am stumped as to why i can
not access the internet from the windows machine. Can anyone please help me
out on this one?
