Yet another problem I have been having with a Debian install. Sorry to keep pestering.
Here is my problem stated simply. I need to create a firewall between our internal network and the internet while still allowing the machines inside the network some limited access out and in. i.e.. keep our webservers etc. inside the firewall. I have two network cards installed in my machine and I have followed the FIREWALL-HOWTO to the "t". here is my configuration eth0 xxx.xxx.xxx.1 :Connected to the internal network eth1 xxx.xxx.xxx.2 :Connected to the internet. # note that the xxx.xxx.xxx are the same subnet since we are allocated a class C domain. my routing table looks similar to this: DESTINATION GATEWAY GENMASK ... IFACE xxx.xxx.xxx.254 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 eth1 xxx.xxx.xxx.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 eth0 0.0.0.0 xxx.xxx.xxx.254 0.0.0.0 eth1 Sorry for the poor formatting. Right now all I can do is access both of the IP addresses from either the internet or the internal network. However no matter what I do I can't get past the firewall (it works too well). I have enabled PI forwarding in the kernel and set the IP_forward file to 1 as well as set the forward ipchains to wide open, as in: ipchains -A forward -j ACCEPT as the only rule. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks. 0 / Derek Wueppelmann (D Libraxus Inc. / \ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
