Okay. Previously I wrote of my dire ignorance when it came to iptables and
kernel 2.6+. Since then I've made a little progress, but still not enough.
Now I have the internal network running off eth1, DHCPd and subnet
192.168.1.0.
The external interface is active on ppp0 (PPPoE).
I can telnet into my server from the systems on the LAN, I can even resolve
external addresses from systems on the LAN.
What I cannot yet do is get packets to forward instead of drop.
I've tried everything I can imagine. I tried the LDP HOWTO on Masquerading,
I tried lokkit, I tried ipmasq scripts, I tried every little package I can
think of.
I'm about to try this new one called firestarter.
Am I using the wrong subnet for the application? Would it make a difference
if it were 192.168.0.0, instead?
Am I missing something about the Gateway? When I connect my lan computers
using the DLINK router, XP creates a new connection called "Internet
Gateway" when it connects and gets its address from the router. It does not
do the same with the Linux box.
