No route to host when trying to connect to FTP server on the Internet

2009-04-21 Thread Redd Vinylene
Hi,

I'm trying to connect to my friend's FTP server but I'm getting a No route
to host when trying from my NAT workstation. It works just fine when I
connect from my NAT server though.

Internet - NAT server (192.168.187.1) - NAT workstation (192.168.187.2)

I've been suggested ftp-proxy. It didn't work though. You can see my setup
and hopefully other relevant info here: http://pastie.org/453644

Thanks!

Presumably you should have a default route set?  (Check netstat -r.)   
If not, consider:


  route add default 192.168.187.1

Yeah, the default route is set. Routing works just fine. In fact, it's been
working for years. It's just this one FTP server that it won't connect to.

Then it could be a legitimate error being returned by a remote router,  
also.  traceroute/mtr to the problematic host could be helpful

I think I just got some help on IRC:

Pulpie is it on the local network of your firewall and not this computer?
me yes!
Pulpie thats why you can't connect to it

Suggestions on how to fix this problem using pf would be greatly appreciated
though.

Many thanks!

For awhile I had been dealing with a sort similar issuesee here:

http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=890

There where other issues with it as well but that was the most 
reproducible.  Also sshd didn't work to same remote host either.  I 
recently upgraded the server from 6.2 - 7.1 including updated ports 
rebuild.  That fixed every nagging issue with the system including 
nat/routing stuff.  My best guess is there was some issues w/ pf in 6.2 
as no config files for application got changed including fw rules yet 
now it works.

The canonical method would be to set up split DNS, or even just add  
an /etc/hosts entry with the hostname listing the LAN IP rather than  
an external IP.
