Apologies for the incomplete mail, my email client went awry - I have a problem with the routing table - or something - on my gateway box:
My linux box NATs for the 10.0.0.0/24 network. From inside that network (on a WinXP box) I can get to the Bigpond cable news-server: C:\>nslookup news-server.bigpond.net.au *** Can't find server name for address 10.0.0.1: Non-existent domain *** Default servers are not available Server: UnKnown Address: 10.0.0.1 Non-authoritative answer: Name: mec2.bigpond.net.au Address: 61.9.128.12 Aliases: news-server.bigpond.net.au C:\>telnet news-server.bigpond.net.au 119 200 Welcome to BigPond Advance -- http://www.bigpond.net.au (Typhoon v1.2.2) quit 205 GoodBye Connection to host lost. C:\> From the box that NATs: bunbun:~# nslookup > server Default server: 61.9.192.14 Address: 61.9.192.14#53 Default server: 61.9.192.15 Address: 61.9.192.15#53 Default server: 61.9.128.15 Address: 61.9.128.15#53 Default server: 61.9.192.16 Address: 61.9.192.16#53 > news-server.bigpond.net.au Server: 61.9.192.14 Address: 61.9.192.14#53 Non-authoritative answer: Name: news-server.bigpond.net.au Address: 61.9.128.12 bunbun:~# telnet news-server.bigpond.net.au 119 Trying 61.9.128.12... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out As you can see, the IP that both boxes are connecting to is the same, and the traceroutes from both boxes are identical (apart from the extra hop for the box that is being NATed) Any ideas?
