I have two NICs (one inside and one outside interface) with NAT activated. The problem is that every time I establish a connection with a machine on my LAN, it uses the address of the outside interface as the source of the packets, which creates problems with my firewall. How do I tell my machine to use the other address whenever I connect to a local machine?

Hi Daniela,

Can you please be more specific? You mean this happens when you are connecting from inside intranet to some other point inside intranet?

I don't understand your topology. Intranet should have the same class network, C-class for instance /24, and the gateway should not see the packages from between 2 hosts in the same LAN. The switch/hub would see them only.

Can you please be more explicit of what's your setup, gateway rules, firewall, and what you are trying to do?

PS: if you are connecting from outside to inside, through the gateway which does nat, this sounds like bad firewall/nat rules.

Yours,
