Hello. Sorry for a rather vague subject, but it's pretty tough to describe the problem in just a couple of words...
Anyway, I have the Linux box doing the IP Masquerading, using ipfwadm. It works. Whenever a Windows 98 machine tries to connect to the net, without using a proxy server ( i.e. Squid ), I can see that the DNS works correctly, since all the addresses resolve, however, all of the outside connections, using either IP addresses, or names time out. I tried pinging www.yahoo.com from the 98 machine, and after a successful DNS lookup, ping gets 'Timed Out' ( or something to that extend ). However, if I use Squid as a proxy for the http/ftp traffic ( pings still don't work, obviously ), the names resolve correctly, and the data is returned properly ( as it should. ) Seems like I overshot ipfwadm's while configuring allow/deny rules, however, I didn't touch the in the last 6 months, honest. Here they are anyhow: ---- ipfwadm -F -p deny ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.0.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0 ---- Any Ideas? Thank you, Nikita Imennov.
