crap... I just realized one thing ... in the section where I was trying to
illustrate the ping from my client to my firewall, I did the opposite
(pinged the client from my firewall).

so:
PING 192.168.1.2 (192.168.1.2) 56(84) bytes of data.
From 192.168.1.1 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
From 192.168.1.1 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable
From 192.168.1.1 icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable
From 192.168.1.1 icmp_seq=4 Destination Host Unreachable

is when I'm logged into my fw (remotely) trying to ping my client machine.

sorry for the confusion.

Hello List,

This is my first post to the list, and as such I apologize for the length
of it. I tried to put as much detail into this as possible.

I recently installed Shorewall on a computer running Gentoo Linux. The
computer has 3 network cards in it, but I've only configured 2. Going the
cheap route, I'm connecting my client directly to my firewall using a
crossover cable.

When I try to access the Internet from my client, the operation times out.

Client is running Windows XP Home Edition.
Card is set to Auto-negotiate the speed and duplex.

Firewall is running Gentoo Linux ( 2006.1).
The version of shorewall I have installed is: 3.0.8
eth0 is connected to a cable modem and gets its IP information via DHCP
from my ISP.
eth1 reports the following information from ifconfig eth1:

eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:10:B5:0E:D6:E9
          inet addr:192.168.1.1  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
          Interrupt:10 Base address:0x6c00

My routing table is as follows:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use

eth0

One thing that I noticed is if I do mii-tool eth1 I get:
eth1: no link

Since I can ping eth1 from the firewall, shouldn't that mean there is a
link?

Things I've tested / tried / ensured:

On the firewall side of things:
The link light is lit on my client and firewall (eth1 and on the client's
NIC)
From the firewall I can get to the Internet (I can browse sites, SSH to
another computer on another network, etc)
I can ping the address of the interior interface (eth1: 192.168.1.1 ) from
the firewall. (replies are in < 1ms)
I've toggled the SSH rule on the firewall to ensure that if I am not
accepting SSH from net to fw that it won't work, and that works fine, so I
think that rule is behaving as I'd expect.
I've blocked ping at the firewall, and that works fine, so that rule seems
to be correct.
I cannot ping the address of my client from the firewall (the clients
address is 192.168.1.2).

On the client side of things:
When I try to ping my firewall or reach the Internet I can see that it is
sending packets.
The send counter increases, but not the received counter (the received
counter stays at 0)

PING 192.168.1.2 (192.168.1.2) 56(84) bytes of data.
From 192.168.1.1 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
From 192.168.1.1 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable
From 192.168.1.1 icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable
From 192.168.1.1 icmp_seq=4 Destination Host Unreachable

--- 192.168.1.2 ping statistics ---
4 packets transmitted, 0 received, +4 errors, 100% packet loss, time
3009ms
, pipe 3

I don't think it's an issue with my DNS setup, as I've entered the IP
address of the site I wish to visit, but still can't get there. The
operation will take too long, and just timeout.
I've set the IP parameters as follows on the client:
IP address: 192.168.1.2
Netmask:    255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
Preferred DNS:    192.168.1.1

No matter what traffic I send to the firewall, whether it be a ping or my
client trying to get to the Internet, I don't see anything getting logged. I
see the firewall is busy, but it's not getting anything from my client.

just a snippet of shorewall show log:

I set my rules, policy, masq, interfaces, etc according to the basic
two-interface firewall howto, and used an FAQ to configure my firewall as
follows:

/etc/shorewall/params:
ETH0_IP=`find_first_interface_address eth0`

/etc/shorewall/rules:
#
# Local Rules
SSH/ACCEPT      loc     $FW
Ping/ACCEPT     loc     $FW

# DNS
DNS/ACCEPT      loc     $FW

# DHCP SERVER

# DHCP CLIENT

ACCEPT          loc     net             TCP     68
#
# Remote Rules

SSH/ACCEPT      net     $FW
Ping/ACCEPT     $FW     loc

# DNAT
DNAT     loc    loc:192.168.1.1        tcp     www   -    $ETH0_IP

/etc/shorewall/policy:
loc            net             ACCEPT          info
$FW         net             ACCEPT          info
$FW         loc             ACCEPT          info
net            all             DROP            info
all             all             REJECT          info

/etc/shorewall/interfaces:
net     eth0            detect          dhcp
loc     eth1            192.168.1.255   routeback


/etc/shorewall/masq:
eth1: 192.168.1.1        eth1           192.168.1.1     tcp     www

I was getting an error when I initially setup shorewall telling me that
the route had not been defined for my internal interface at the point where
the firewall was trying to start, so I placed the following entry into
/etc/shorewall/init
route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.1.1 eth1

However, I've been through many evolutions since then; so this may no
longer be needed.
