Hi, I have been having trouble forwarding packets using iptables on my Gentoo box. I am no iptables expert.
I connect to the internet using rp-pppoe. I use firestarter for firewalling. Yesterday I installed VMware and chose host only networking between the VMs. vmnet0 was bound to 192.168.128.1 and the rest of the subnet being 192.168.128.0/24. As should be obvious by now, I need to forward packets from ppp0 to vmnet0 and allow outbound packets as well. I chose vmnet0 to be the adaptor connected to my LAN and enabled Internet Connection Sharing in Firestarter. I could ping my virtual hosts and do ssh and telnet, but I couldn't access the internet from those hosts. I also tried the Gentoo Home Router Guide. But to no avail. I still couldn't have the hosts access the internet. I have had this problem with actual physical LAN too. I haven't been able to allow any of the LAN hosts to connect to the internet through my Gentoo box. Could someone help me? Thank you. -- ---------------------------------------- Mrugesh Karnik GPG Key 0xBA6F1DA8 Public key on http://wwwkeys.pgp.net ----------------------------------------
