RE: Lan Tcp/ip Question
Do you have the IP-Masquerade / IP-Firewall package installed? (I forget
the actual name.) I had similar problems after installing the ipmasq
tools. Seems the install scripts set up a really strict rules set to
protect the Linux machine from attack over the net. The rules were so
strict I couldn't get my windows machine (or any other) to talk to my
Linux box via IP. I changed the firewall rules and that fixed the problem
for me. You may need to experiment with the rules to get a set that works
for you (or sacrifice the security benefits and change the default policy
to allow - not generally a good thing).
>From what you posted the network setup look ok, and your ethernet card is
seeing traffic (so it is apparently configured correctly).
Good Luck,
Pat
