by Hello everyone,
I have setup my Red Hat 6.1 Linux Pentium 166 (32 ram) to IP masquerade a
Netgear FA-310tx cards). I have them configured and a weak firewall script
in etc/rc.d/rc.firewall that came from the latest IP Masquerade HOWTO. My
service, though it is always the same number. From my Linux box, I was able
to ping both the internel and externel ethernet cards as well as the
internet computers on the network. I believe that I was also able to ping
an externet IP address (as recommended in the HOWTO) because it gave the
output SOMEWHAT like the following:
pinging 152.19.254.81 from 24.10.XXX.XXX: 84(54 ms)
...or something like that. the 152.19.254.81 was the internet IP address
(metalab.unc.edu) while 24.10.xxx.xxx is my externel ethernet card IP
it gave my true address. Anyways, thats all it gave, no more. after that
it just stopped, while it usually keeps going. I also tried to ping the
same externel internet IP address on an internel computer and it did not
work (timed out).
I get legitimate output from "ifconfig" and everything else too. I
believed that my setup was correct, but now i am second guessing. So my
problem is getting ICMP masquerading working. Could you please help me in
setting this up? What should i do to finally get this working? Thank you
very much.
