Hi,
New to linux, really don't know squat :) I
just installed debian on my 3rd comp at home. I want to use this comp has a
gateway/firewall to the internet. Basicly I want my 2 others comp (running
win98SE) to access the internet through this comp (games, emails, internet,
etc...). I have read a few DOCS form linuxdoc.org. And I tried to
configure ipchains following these DOCS, but it doesn't work.
Both my network cards were detected and
both seem to be working right. One of them has a local network address which I
assigned my self with the following command: ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1. The
other was configured as a cable modem upon installation. When I boot it is
assigned the address 24.200.41.15 and the netmask 255.255.255.0.
My routing tables consists of the following
entries (all automaticaly configured, I haven't entered any):
192.168.0.0 *
255.255.255.0 u 0
0 0 eth0
24.200.41.0 *
255.255.255.0 u 0
0 0 eth1
default
modemcable001.4 0.0.0.0 ug
0 0 0 eth1
My hosts file /etc has the following
entries. I added the last 3 entries.
127.0.0.1
Lisa localhost
192.168.0.2
Marge
192.168.0.3 Homer
24.200.41.15 LIsa
From my linux box, I can ping addresses on
the 192.168.0.0 and 24.200.41.0 networks and I can ping the DNS server
(24.200.243.242). I can't ping modemcable001.4 From my win98SE comps I can only
ping addresses in the 192.168.0.0 network. If I want to ping addresses in the
24.200.41.0 or the DNS server, I need to enter the following
commands: ipchains -P forward ACCEPT and ipcahins -A forward -s 192.168.0.0/24
-d 0/0 -j MASQ. Also before I can enter these commands I need to
enable ip_forward: echo 1 > ip_forward. .
I cannot access the internet from any on my
win98SE comps. And I haven't installed any applications on my linux box, so I
can try accessing any http sites from the this comp. The proxy settings are
detected but the pages will not load. What has to be done to fix the situation
and to allow games and email progs to go through?
