-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Before I even worry about a firewall I'm trying to get routing to happen=20 between the 2 nics in the machine I'm going to use for this. My table looks like this: fw1 root # ip route show 127.0.0.1 dev lo scope link 64.xx.xx.48/29 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 64.xx.xx.54 192.168.0.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.1 default via 64.xx.xx.49 dev eth0 fw1 root # The main table looks like this: fw1 root # ip route list table main 127.0.0.1 dev lo scope link 64.xx.xx.48/29 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 64.xx.xx.54 192.168.0.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.1 default via 64.xx.xx.49 dev eth0 fw1 root # I have to admit that I'm WAY out of practice in routing but I know I'm mi= ssing=20 something real simple here. As you can see I have a block of 5 IP's that = are=20 statically assigned to me and I'm trying to use just 1 .54 that I'll NAT = the=20 internal network to. Both interfaces on the router machine are working as= I=20 can SSH into both IP's (using 2 other systems each on the same network as= =20 each of the routers interfaces). When I try to ping thru the private interface to the outside world I get = no=20 responding and on the 3rd ping I get a report on the screen from 192.168.= 0.1=20 that the destination address is unreachable. I've looked at and studied the webpage=20 http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Adv-Routing-HOWTO/lartc.rpdb.simple.html but I'= m=20 not that familier with iptables. I was using ipchains a few years back to= =20 build a router before and I got it working. It's been over a year since I= =20 touched any routing anything so I was hoping someone might help me out he= re=20 and tell me where I'm going wrong. Its odd but I can look at those tables and see something wrong but I can'= t=20 quite put my finger on it. :( Please help. Thanks.
