I''ve got a serious mess of NAT on our firewall/router systems at the corporate office which seems to do nothing other than confuse the heck out of people. What I''d like to do is gradually migrate the hosts on the various DMZ networks away from private IP addresses and NAT over to public IP addresses and proxyarp. What I''m wondering, before I start this, is how do I

Hi, In a routed network setup , is it possible to use ProxyARP given the condition that the shorewall external interface and the DMZ interface are in a completely different network . That means the gateway of the External interface and the hosts in ProxyARPed DMZ zones are in different network. eth0 ---in 220.227.X.Y/30 -- shorewall external interface eth1 ---in 220.227.A.B/27 -- shorewall

Hello list, I am in the process of switching from IPCOP to Shorewall s the firewall for our small office. I very much like the fact that Shorewall runs on top of the same OS (openSuSE 11.4) that I run on the server and my desktop. Our setup is fairly straightforward. We have 8 static ip addresses from our ISP, which provides a cable modem and a Cisco 800 series router. The ip addresses are

I have been trying to get DNAT to work and I actually have succeeded too, however, not how I thought it would work when reading through the documentation. 1. No matter what I do I cannot get DNAT to work unless I have an entry in eiter the nat or the proxyarp file. Is that really how it''s supposed to be? I can''t find anything about it in the documentation. 2. Also, in the

I have some hosts in a DMZ zone with proxyarp. In my local zone I have a host to which I DNAT. I have discovered that I can reach the host in the local zone by attempting to connect to the fw (As expected) or ANY proxyarped host in my dmz zone (as not expected). Is this normal ? (I''ve just discovered that actually the dnated host answers to requests sent to any IP routed to my host!)

Hi everybody. I''m trying to configure shorewall folowing this manual: http://www.montanalinux.org/proxmox-ve-with-shorewall.html But with shorewall check it tells me thah: Checking /etc/shorewall/interfaces... ERROR: Unknown zone (dmz) : /etc/shorewall/interfaces (line 16) How can I define it in the zone file? thanks for the help. best regards, Santiago.

Hi, Thanks for your reply . I am attaching the files needed by you herewith. The NAT device is called Pronto gateway which has two interfaces , namely eth0 and eth1. ''eth0'' has an ip address of 203.124.152.66 and eth1 has an ip address of 192.168.1.3 . All the client PCs are in 192.168.1.0 network [behind the NAT, the Pronto gateway] and use 192.168.1.3 as the default

Hi all! I posted earlier about the proxy arp configuration = http://shorewall.sourceforge.net/shorewall_setup_guide.htm#NonRouted, = and was probably not sufficiently knowledgeable on the subject. I''ve = gone through a bunch of documents on proxy arp, subnetting with proxy = arp and the documentation at shorewall, and have come up with a setup = that would be perfect for the job at hand

Does anyone know what a good maximum number of machines I should place in the ProxyArp list? Thanks Jamie

Hey Tom, I have successfully set up to servers on a Dmz practice network woohoo :). If I take out the proxyarp option in /etc/shorewall/interfaces Then Dmz can ping outside ip''s on the net but not and of my servers on network 66.224.62.96/27 (Other than its own gateway server 66.224.62.120) The reason I ask is to learn. I thought I would not need the proxyarp option for this to

Hello Shorewall gurus, I have a dilemma with a public server. I want to migrate the current public server over to a new machine behind the current server''s firewall (shorewall 1.4). I have included a diagram below to help explain the target network I am working toward. I have read the shorewall online documentation and though I have used Shorewall the past 4 years in the current

In our LAN a Linux-router connects 2 subnets. On this router dhcrelay is running. For several reasons we have to run a firewall on this box. But what is the right way to configure dhcrelay using Shorewall??? Thanks. -- Ad Koster <lidad@zeelandnet.nl>

Hi- One last question for the week, I promise. I''ve got one IP ProxyArp''d according to the instructions at http://www.shorewall.net/ProxyARP.htm. I''ve setup the shorewall/proxyarp file as follows: #ADDRESS INTERFACE EXTERNAL HAVEROUTE PERSISTENT 208.4.145.73 br0 eth1 no yes #LAST LINE -- ADD YOUR ENTRIES

I am trying to add a machine into my dmz. It is the first machine I''ve ever added to this dmz and fro some reason I cannot establish communication between the dmz and the machine. Here is an example of my setup: ISP router --> firewall (eth0) firewall (eth1) --> local network firewall (eth2) --> DMZ eth0 and eth2 have public IP addresses as does the machine I just added to

Hi As per my follow up mail I implemented the ProxyArp configuration as per the Documentation on the Web site and all seemed to be working correctly. However, the one thing that doesn''t seem to be working properly is Samba. I have Samba running on the FW machine and one of the servers 192.168.0.8 on the Local Lan. I can connect to a Share using Samba from Server to Server, however

Would it be considered normal that a system behind a shorewall box that was setup for proxyarp and able to be reached from the trusted side of the net just fine on the proxyapr ip address would if it were to talk out to the world show as traffic not from the proxyarp address but the firewall''s own address or the masquerading ip used by other zones? We had not really noticed this as an

I have an access-IProm my isp that I configured my eth0 with. And I also have an IP-range assigned from my ISP that will be used on my servers connected to eth1. The IP-range is routed thru the access-IP. This is how my configfiles look like. Internal everything seems to work but not external. /etc/shorewall/proxyarp #ADDRESS INTERFACE EXTERNAL HAVEROUTE

In an effert move my Dmz from a snapqear roouter to Linux with shorewall. Question is I have network 64.42.53.200/29 which makes default gw 64.42.53.201 network 64.42.53.200 broadcast 64.42.53.207 mask 255.255.255.248 and I want to set up shorewall with eth0 64.42.53.202 eth1 local eth2 dmz where dmz will use say 64.42.53.203 for web and email server. Where I do not need or should I say use

Hi all! I''ve set up a Linux box with shorewall doing proxy arp as per http://www.shorewall.net/shorewall_setup_guide.htm#ProxyARP the 5.2 (non routed) example. Everything is working great except for one thing, and that leads me to my question: is there a conflict between proxy arp and pptp? I''ve set the apropriate ACCEPT rules to allow tcp port 1723 and protocol 47 to the host

Hi, in a three interface firewall I have eth0, loc, 10.1.5.1/16 eth1, int, 200.41.61.228/29 eth2, dmz, 192.168.1.1/24 (un)fortunately I got a group of public ip?s to use, so here is my problem in the dmz I have 192.168.1.3 redirected from eth1 alias 200.41.61.226 (a web server, works perfect). I am trying to set up a mail server also, a different machine, so I can?t use proxyarp, as with this,
