I am desperately trying to use Linux as a router for my system. I run a box
where I switch between 98 and Linux.
When I switch to linux, my wife can no longer contact the pop3 server on
our Cable modem vendors
machine. Wingate routes the packets coming to my 98 machine on port 110 to
my cable companys
machine. I get a connection refused from Eudora which means that the
packets are not traveling from my
internal to external networks. BTW, Wingate has a setup file that lets me
take packets from an internal
address and reroutes them seamlessly to a specific external address. I may
have misunderstood packet
routing but I thought I could say recieve a packet destined for my Linux
box and then ship it off to another
system by manipulating the header. BTW, http works flawlessly. Also, I run
a 2.1 kernel where I
must use ipchains. But the syntax for ipchains makes sense so I have no
trouble converting from
ipafw to ipchains. Any advice would be appreciated. And to Steve who asked
about Sygate, I find
wingate works flawlessly tho I have not tried Diablo. I try to run my games
on the system with wingate installed
and wingate ignores the local machines packets.
