Very Computer

I have configured and recompiled my system for firewalling, IP masquerade
(and more) and obtained the ipfwadm command, and following af howto-file,
I have setup a masquerading. Now my problem is that NOTHING is happening
from the "local" net - not even DNS works.

My config is as follows:

eth0: connected to the internet via a intranet/proxy system. This is the
network that should be accesible via ip masq.
IP: 10.0.171.91, MASK: 255.0.0.0

eth1: the LAN that should have access to the other net.
IP: 172.16.0.1, MASK: 255.255.255.0

I have tried issuing the ipfwadm command, but appareantly it doesn't work.
How SHOULD it be issued?

Thanks!

ipfwadm-F -a m -S 172.16.0.2/32 -D 0.0.0.0/0  (note ip address is
address of workstation you want to allow through. for each additional
address run it again with their ip.

Also make sure clients have Linux box as their gateway. Use your isp's
nameservers, unless you have your own.

Hope this helps

Then I start a primitive standalone ftp-client, I log in to the local
sunsite (placed outside the masquerade) and recieve a welcome message. Now
when I try to do a listing, the client hangs (or waits REALLY long). Why
is that, and can I reconfigure the Linux box to support such connections?
