I finally got my linux RH5.0 box connected to 4 win95 machines
and entered some minimal ipfwadm forwarding permissions and
default input/output permissions to connect to a cablemodem
ISP. I opted for IPv4 in the network configuration tab to set
IP forwarding in action. I also have the m flag on the forward
parameter for masquerading.
I have a win95 box on my local net with the rh5.0 box as the
server. I can get to some sites on the internet by using the
network address of the sites, but it appears only those on the
same cable company router subnet (ie: 199.288.58.*). However,
none of these sites can be reached by name and I cannot get
beyond the cable company network via network address or
name (ie: neither www.netscape.com or 198.95.249.78).
What have I missed? How can I check the CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE
flag in the kernel, or is that even the problem.
I also have a weird situation where I can ping to the cable companies
router, but only if the linux server has tcpdump -i eth1 running. I
turn dump off, the ping times out. I must have something screwed up
in here. Thanks for any help!
