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 -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
