clients can't use services, ok after a minute
I have freshly installed debian sarge to act as router/server.
I am using this iptables script http://tnt.aufbix.org/linux/firewall/
Everything works ok, except that my client machines from time to time
get
disconnected from the network (can ping the server but cannot access
internet or
any services on the server) Also I cannot ping the clients from the
server. And
after some time (about a minute) everything returns to normal.
Similar problem occurs right after connecting a client to the
network. I can
ping the serevr but nothing else works. traceroute shows this:
traceroute to 213.14.14.14 (213.14.14.14), 64 hops max, 40 byte packets
1 root (192.168.1.1) 1.438 ms 0.621 ms 0.445 ms
2 root (192.168.1.1) 0.486 ms !N 0.481 ms !N 0.478 ms !N
a funny thing is, when I try to access the server via http://192.168.1.1
I get a password prompt saying: enter username and password for
"viking" at
http://192.168.1.1
apache is not currently running. when things get back to normal after
a minute
I get an ordinary "server not found". routing also works, traceroute
is normal
etc.
the same firewall script has worked on a previous sarge installation
with no
problems
any ideas where to start looking? /var/log/messages and /var/log/
syslog show
nothing related to this problem
