IP Masquerading & Netscape
I am looking for some help on IP Masquerading. I'm running mostly slink
with some hamm left over that I haven't gotten around to upgrading. I
went through the mini-HOWTO and configured my kernel all fine, when I go
to use a winsock application on my win3.1 machine (connected by ether), I
have no problems except in netscape 3.01gold and ie 3.02 (though I don't
care at all about ie). This is running the MSLanman 2.2c winsock (for
samba). For some reason, netscape can resolve DNS names, but not connect
to the hosts (FTP or HTTP) while opera can do both, and WS_FTP has no
problems.
When I installed SOCKS4 for debugging purposes, and configured
netscape, suddenly it could contact hosts and bring back sites and dir
listings, but with some problems. if I give it an IP then it has no
problems unless there is an inline to another domain in the html document,
in which case it doesn't bring back that image (registers as broken), when
I give it a domain name, it resolves, contacts the server, then stops at
"waiting for reply." I'm not too sure what could cause that. I would
prefer not to use SOCKS and only have the IP-Masquerading doing my
forwarding, but if I require SOCKS, I'm more than ready to use it. any
ideas? I can't use opera forever as it times out in a few days.

btw, I am loading the ftp_ipmasq_mod.o or whatever the name is (along with
all the others like it I could find.
thanks in advance!
