/* HINT: Search archives @ http://www.indyramp.com/masq/ before posting! */ Before I lose any more hair... I have a gateway Linux box doing DHCP, masquerading/NAT, and SQUID for my local home LAN, and doing my dial-up to my ISP, and I cannot get Napster and more importantly Quicken updates to work through it. For purposes of this test/explanation I have disabled the firewall rules on my gateway system, and done the simplest: ipchains -A forward -i ppp0 -j MASQ from a clean boot (IPsec disabled) and manually flushed (ipchains -f) system. >From a Win98SE box on the LAN: I can't get Napster to work, It hangs on the MOTD, after finding and connecting to the server just fine (it says). I've tried the "firewalled" option on Install (V2.0 BETA 6 and 5), and even tried the "firewalled, but can open a port" option and manually opened a port on the firewall. I also tried Tapster running on a different Win box, just in case, same results. Napster works fine if I dial direct on the PC, and via Win98SE ICS. Quicken also hangs, and eventually times out on "Connecting to Financial Institution) and eventually times out with an error dialog: "Quicken was unable to obtain or update important information about this financial institution. There May be a problem with the Internet connection or the server. Please try again. [OL-231]". Quicken also works fine with a direct dial up and ICS. Other things I use from my Win98 desktops via the gateway: POP3 connect to my ISP's mail server works. HTTP and HTTPS work (both directly, and through SQUID). DNS lookup works, to my server (I run an auth domain for my LAN) and my ISP's, DHCP hands out the gateway's address to use. AboutTime (win time setting from NTP servers) works. Distributed.net client works. ftp works (if the masq module is loaded). NetMeeting 3.01 works (if the masq module is loaded). The "ipchains -M -L" output while doing mail, trying Tapster, DNET, and trying a Quicken update looks like: IP masquerading entries prot expire source destination ports TCP 14:56.42 dean12 208.184.216.221.napster.com 2739 (61011) -> ddi-tcp-1 TCP 00:05.13 dean12 work.mail.mindspring.net 2731 (61007) -> pop3 TCP 01:55.66 dean12 208.184.216.223.napster.com 2738 (61010) -> 8875 TCP 00:17.06 dean12 work.mail.mindspring.net 2732 (61008) -> pop3 TCP 01:53.63 dean12 208.184.216.221.napster.com 2728 (61005) -> ddi-tcp-1 TCP 14:53.63 dean12 206.154.105.121 2737 (61009) -> https TCP 00:10.43 dean12 proxy1.rwc.ca.us.proxy.distributed.net 2730 (61006) -> 2064 "dean12" is the DHCP assigned Win98SE box, 192.168.123.12 The gateway is SuSE 6.4 with a 2.2.14 kernel, MASQ, forwarding., etc compiled in. As I mentioned above it's really irritating that both applications will work fine with a Windows98 Second Edition system with Internet Connection Sharing loaded, not to mention a little embarrassing.
