Very Computer

I have setup my Linux Box with IPMasq. Everything runs fine from my win box
behind the proxy. Now I just encountered a problem. I have tried to connect
to an ftp server that is behind NAT server which are both on winboxs

------------              -------------                   ------------

|                 |             | IP Masq    |   Internet    |   NAT       |
| Win workstation |
| Win         |---------|    Linux      |------------|    Sygate
|---------|    FTP                |
|                 |             |   Proxy      |   Internet    |    Win box
|              | server                |
------------              -------------                   -------------    
        ------------------

I can't seem to connect to the FTP even when the FTP Client is set to
passive mode. Does anyone know whether there is anything I can do on my side
of the connection such as reconfiguring my Linux Box to fwd properly?

This sounds like the "nat" server as you call it which is protecting the ftp
server needs a dose of impasqadm to portforward to the ftp server. This
requires a pretty recent kernel to be most painless. I've just been through
this routine. I now have my firewall 24.x.x.x port 80 able to forward all
port 80 requests to port 80 on a 192.168.x.x box. Has nothing to do with the
client side. if masquerading is working correctly this is not an issue, it
is the server end that sounds like it needs fixin'

Have you inserted the ftp module for ip masq?
