W98-to-Linux Masquerade OK, but Linux-to-Linux Not!

Post by Darren En » Sat, 27 Feb 1999 04:00:00



After spending a LONG TIME setting up my network between
my PCs, I was also able to successful set up masquerading
from my W98 machine to my Linux machine (which has a modem
that can connect to the net) -- but now it seems like this
nifty trick does NOT work when I try to masquerade from
a LINUX machine to the linux machine with the modem.

This baffles me since I would have thought that linux-to-linux
was a natural relationship!

Anybody have any ideas what I would need to do in order to
get this to work?  I have read many FAQs on this topic,
but they all seem to assume that one wants a mixture between
a Windows and Linux PC.

Thanks

Can you ping the linux server?

Did you include the client linux box's ip in the range allowed when
writing your ipfwadm commands?
The two I used where
ipfadm -F -p deny
ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.255.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0

In the client did you set your gatway to the linux box doing the
masquerading. Check using the control panel.

In the client type in the command "route -n" to make sure the route is
set.

It does work, good luck
