I am using Debian 2.2 (potato) with ipchains 1.3.9 attempting to get ip masquerading to work.
I can ping other computers on my network when ipmasq is disabled. But when it's on I get a operation not permitted message when I try to ping another machine. So as someone hinted before, this is probably something wrong with my firewall rules. First of all do I need to recompile kernel to get masq to work w/my version of Debian ? I followed config file for 2.2.x kernels in the masq HOWTO, but I must not be doing something right. in any case this is what ipchains -L gives me : target prot opt source destination ports ACCEPT udp ------ anywhere anywhere bootps -> bootpc Chain forward (policy DENY): target prot opt source destination ports MASQ all ------ 192.168.0.0/24 anywhere n/a Chain output (policy DENY): I am connecting to my provider with dhcpcd, and that works as well when ipmasq is not engaged. I noticed that some docs use 192.168.0.* for class C networked machines while the masq pages use 192.168.1.* for machines on the network, does this matter at all ? Please CC me any responses. Thanks.
