I have had my IP masquerading/firewall dealy working flawlessly for
about a year now... Up until yesterday I only had an NT box and a Mac
behind the linux box. Today I added 2 linux boxes... and they work
fine, right up to trying to access anything outside of the private
network. If I do a ping or telnet, I get one or two packets and then
nothing. I've read the howto's and done web searches. It acts like its
changing its routing midstream and attempting to bypass the linux box,
but routed and gated aren't running, so I dunno how that could be. I'm
getting pretty frustrated... I know I've had other linux boxes on
masqueraded networks before, and I'm sure others do too... am I
forgetting something? If I give one of the clients a public address (I
have 7 static IP's for my DSL, but only use 1 and have the rest behind
the firewall) it works fine, and gateways through the DSL modem, but all
hell breaks loose the other way. Thoughts? Oh btw, just in case, I
upgraded my kernel and tools and everything... still no luck.
TIA,
Ryan
