I just set up a similar setup with a firewall myself. I think you need to setup something on the gateway machine like ipchains with MASQ (ip masquerading) to give your machine on the internal network access to the internet.
Go to linuxdoc.org and look for howto's on IPCHAINS, MASQ, Firewalls, etc. I am no expert on the matter, but that should give you a good start. jason [EMAIL PROTECTED] Original Message: ----------------- From: Cameron Matheson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 09 Apr 2001 16:24:00 -0600 To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: URGENT! help w/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hey, I just finished installing Debian 2.2r2 at work (boss gave me permission), but I don't know how to get the net working through a gateway. We have a linux server (192.168.0.1). I added it to the /etc/network/interfaces file (as the gateway), but when I try to apt-get w/ http (for dist-upgrade), it can't connect to any servers. Lynx doesn't work either. What else do I have to do? Please help, as I'm trying to make Linux look as good as it is.
