Hey guys,

I've got a RH 7.2 box here which I'm trying to setup as a gateway.

It has an external ip of 203.13.174.115 on eth0, and an internal ip of
10.0.0.1 on eth1. It also runs a dhcp server which allocates 10.0.0.x
IP's. It talks to outside computers and the rest of the world without a
problem.

A workstation behind it is allocated an IP without a problem, and can ping
both the internal and external IP's of the gateway. The workstation only
has eth0.

However whenever the workstation tries to ping somewhere outside, it
returns a 'destination host unreachable' error. The same happens for
telnet, etc.

I have just a quick shell script for my firewall atm:

#!/bin/sh
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
/sbin/iptables -F
/sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

On the gateway, netstat -rn outputs: (sorry if this wraps)

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt
Iface
10.0.0.0        0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U        40 0          0

127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U        40 0          0

eth0

On the workstation, netstat -rn outputs:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt

eth0

Can anybody point me towars something that I"m missing?

cheers,
Anth
