From the debian box, I can ping other machines connected via the ADSL modem via ppp0. I can also ping machines on the internet via eth0 from this box. In addition, any machine on the Office LAN can connect to machines on the internet.
However, if a machine on the office LAN tries to connect to a machine on the 192.168.17.0/24 network, the packets disappear somewhere in the debian box. I can see the packets coming in with tcpdump but then they disappear. The debian box does not try to route them at all.
Note that I have switched off all firewalling and switched ip_forwarding on in the kernel.
The problem is related to the ADSL - ppp0 interface. The routing rules look OK. I can ping from the debian box via ppp0 to hosts on the connected network. However, if I ping from the office LAN, the packets do get to the debian box OK, but it doesn't route them out ppp0. It just seems to drop them. There is nothing in the logs to indicate any errors. The packets just disappear.
The setup looks like this:
Internet

x.x.47.224/27 Router x.x.47.225

eth0| x.x.47.226

#------------# (eth1 -ppp0 ADSL)

Office LAN (192.168.2.0/24)The routing table looks like: # route -n Destination Gateway Genmask Flag Met Ref Use Iface x.x.16.78 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 x.x.243.224 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.224 U 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.2.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth2 192.168.17.0 x.x.16.78 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0 0.0.0.0 x.x.243.225 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
Any ideas?
