> Also, what Debian package is required for IP Masquerading. I have a Debian System that does IP masquerading, here is how I did it. First, echoing an earlier comment, consult the HOWTO on this subject. I read somewhere that the masquerading code in kernel 2.0.33 is more stable than in earlier kernels, so I got the source for 2.0.33 and compiled it using the Debian kernel package. You will need to compile in support for firewalls, ect, per the HOWTO. Here is my setup: mapleloop connects to the outside world using a modem and ppp. It has a regular internet ip address assigned to that connection. mapleloop connects to a dual boot NT/Debian machine through an ethernet card (eth0). I have assigned ip=192.168.1.1 to that connection. I have assigned 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3 to the ethernet card in the dual boot machine. It uses one address for NT, the other for Debian. I am allowed to assign these ip's because this part of the network is private; these ip's will never be seen by the internet. I run bind on mapleloop for the benifit of the dual boot machine. This is available as a Debian package. I added the following to /etc/init.d/network in mapleloop. This is probably the wrong place for it, but it works. (Maybe someone more knowledgeable can tell us where it *should* go.) ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 up route add -net 192.168.1.0 eth0 ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.1.0/3 -D 0.0.0.0/0 insmod ip_masq_ftp There is also ip_masq module for irc I think. You will need this module too if you use irc behind the firewall. Before I installed the ip_masq_ftp module in the firewall machine, ftp clients behind the firewall would sometimes drop connection and abort in the middle of a download. I understand you can also fix this problem by configuring your clients to work in passive mode, but it is easier for me to just use the module. I configure the dual boot machine to point to 192.168.1.1 for both gateway and DNS services for both operating systems. Not exactly on the subject but related: My only printer is connected to mapleloop. I connect to it from the Debian remote machine by configuring lp as a remote printer in the printcap of the remote Debian machine. The remote NT machine obtains print services from mapleloop by using the LPR method in printer setup. See the NT help utility for details.
