Roger, It depends on how you have everything working. NATing addresses from an internal network will not affect your internet connection if done correctly. All NAT does is stuff the packets with a new source address. Are you sure you have your firewall logging correctly? If you are using iptables then I would advise you log your denys see what you are actually doing incorrectly.
Kevin Hi all Firstly is Masquerding compatible with DHCPD ?? I am running a home network that works fine with static IP's . When I install dhcpd for dynamic IP's it works fine except for connecting to the NET. On the linux client if you ping the outside world an error "Network is unreachable". There are no errors in /var/log/messages with the failed internet attempt. I have disabled the "firewall" on the gateway with no difference. All client machines are affected............ The client machines I have tried are : Redhat, win98, win2000, winXP but I still can't connect to the NET. (static IP's can OK) My Gateway is connected via Bigpond ADSL via an old alcatel "speed touch home modem" and also serves DHCPd, THe IP is 10.0.0.1 , My Gateway runs "updated" RedHat 9. ... networking: .... PPPOE, iptables , snort, acid . ................etc Theres probably some setting somewhere .... I wish i knew.
