I have two computers, both initially installed with Debian 3.1 (Sarge) RC3, The computer A has two ethernet ports and computer B has one ethernet port.
eth0 of computer A is connected to the ADSL modem and eth1 of computer B is connected to eth0 of computer B via a crossover cable. For Computer A, I set eth0: DHCP assignment (in the 10.x.x.x range) between eth0 and ADSL modem eth1: IP:192.168.0.1 subnet: 255.255.255.0 broadcast: 192.168.0.255 gateway: not set For computer B, I set eth0 IP: 192.168.0.2 subnet: 255.255.255.0 gateway: 192.168.0.1 I also installed ipmasq on computer A. Computer A was able to access the internet. Both Computer A and B could also ping each other successfully and computer B was also able to share internet from computer A However after I reinstalled Computer A with the newly released debian 3.1r0a (with exactly the same settings described above) with ipmasq, computer B could not obtain internet access any more despite computer A still had internet access and computer B was also able to share CUPS and NFS services from computer A successfully. Also, computer B was able to ping computer A and vice versa. So what could go wrong here? Is it because some problems with the firewall and/or ipmasq? How could I fix this problem? Thanks Dominik
