I am not able to ftp from my private network, through IP Masqerading. I now have Debian 2.2, and I had Debian 2.1 before. As far as I can tell, I have set up IP Masq the same way as I did before.
Before, I could use ftp clients on any machine in my local network to access anything outside my network. I can still connect to the same machines, but now I can't get the file list from the remote ftp server or change directories. It just sits there trying, but never gets the list. Changing the passive setting for the ftp clients doesn't help. Also, sometimes when it is not passive, I get a "port error" message from the server. I don't really understand how to set up IP Masq, so someone had given me an ipchains command, and it seems to still work for the most part. All other TCP/IP applications I use seem to be fine through the IP Masq. When going from slink to potato, I took that ipchains command from my /etc/init.d/network file and put it into the /etc/init.d/networking file, right after ifup -a, and that worked. The command is: /sbin/ipchains -A forward -s 172.16.1.0/24 -j MASQ 172.16.1.0 is my local network. I can ftp from my Linux box, just not from any machine on the private network. Thanks, John
