Hi,
sorry for a slightly off-topic question regarding NAT with a PPPoE network.
I have a home network looking as follows:
192.168.42.3
----------- -------
| G4 Silver | | |---DSL Modem (ppp0)
ISDN---|ippp0 eth0|---|Switch |---more Macs (192.168.42.x)
----------- -------The G4 is running Yellowdog 4.01 with a self-compiled 2.6.11.4 kernel.
The "old" setup was an ISDN connection (no DSL present), and the G4 worked as router. Everything was perfect for the "local" net, except that the hardware (AVM Fritz) was not supported by MacOS, so I had no internet on the G4 (and connected clients) when running OS X.
Therefore, I removed the ISDN card, got DSL, plugged the modem into the switch, and now everything works fine with OS X. After a little fiddling around with ipfw and natd, I have routing support with OS X client.
Now I tried Linux, and I have internet on the G4 itself, but packets from the local net are apparently not routed/forwarded correctly. I did not change the NAT rules in iptables (except replacing ippp0 by ppp0, of course):
<snip> [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# iptables -t nat -L -n Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination
Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination MASQUERADE all -- 192.168.42.0/24 0.0.0.0/0
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination </snip>
Running tcpdump on both eth0 and ppp0, I can see that e.g. a http (tcp/80) request from the local net is going through eth0, and the same packet is then passed via ppp0. The response, though, is *not* returned to the requesting client.
I am using the kernel-based pppoe modules (pppoe, pppox), not the roaring penguin package coming with YDL. Does anyone have an idea why forwarding doesn't work with this setup? Any hints how I should configure my box? Or is it impossible to use the dsl modem and the local net at the same Ethernet interface (but why does it work with OS X, then)? Any pointers?
HELP! I'm really lost here...
Thanks in advance for any help,
Cheers, Albrecht.
