How to get win to use RH8 as gw

[paleogryph]

RH8 with two nics, setup to connect to dsl with rp-ppp. Eth0 using dhcp (to connect to dsl); eth1 using static on lan (win2k domain) as 192.168.0.99/24.

Configure rp-ppp with "adsl-setup" using Masquerade.

Start connection to dsl via "ifup ppp0" and connects no problem. Ifconfig then shows eth0 with just mac addr (I don't understand that), eth1 with static addr and ppp0 with the dsl providers (SBC) external addr. Can ping and browse anything from this machine, can ping any windows on lan also.

Have setup windows machine to use 192.168.0.99 as gw and dns, and gave it a static addr. Have turned off win2k server so no dhcp or dns is coming from that. Win box can ping that addr.

Have enabled ip forwarding on RH:
"echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward"

When run "route" on RH it shows the external dsl ppp0 addr as the default gw.

However, windows machines can't ping/browse outside.

What else is required to get windows to use RH as gw to net via dsl connection? Is it because I chose "Masquerade" as firewall type? I assumed that would shut down services/ports that I haven't explicitly enabled, i.e., ssh, http, etc;.

Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

Try to add

/sbin/ipchains -P forward DENY
/sbin/ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.0.0 -j MASQ

DNS address should be set as same IP on win2k as they are on Linux gateway
