You must have 2 nics in your brothers maschine. eth0 connected to ADSL modem and eth1 connected to the lan. I never make it or got an decent answer here on he list using ipchains as firewall,One person said I should use bridge, and another said not. Very confusing.The third person said I should use nat ,masquerade and iptables, so finally i get it up and running after much work. 1.st Check if your kernel is enabled for nat and iptables.These modules should be loaded to perform iptables firewall.
iptable_nat 15092 1 (autoclean) [ipt_MASQUERADE] ip_conntrack 15788 2 (autoclean) [ipt_MASQUERADE ipt_state iptable_nat] iptable_filter 1696 1 (autoclean) ip_tables 12384 8 [ipt_MASQUERADE ipt_LOG ipt_limit ipt_state iptable_nat iptable_filter] Try modprobe ip_tables and see if you can install it.If you can not you have to enable it in your kernel and compile it. And that is a chapter of itself.So if not you cannot install the required modules, you can keep asking this list for an proper answer using forwarding and ipchains. Bridge doesent help much. But I srongly recommend iptables as firewall because its easier to apply rules exactly for you need, and google is full of examples. --- Brenden Walker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> skrev: > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Steve Coffman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > > Sent: Monday, September 23, 2002 3:19 PM > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: Dynamic IP Address from Cable - Help? > > > > > > Hi, > > I'm trying to set up a simple firewall (ipchains) > and router > > for my brother-in-law that just got cable access. > I have a > > similar router at home using a DSL static IP > address. > > Question: What steps do I need to take to get the > current IP > > address from the cable modem (DHCP?). > > AFAIK, the cable modem doesn't have any address > (other than a hardware > serial number).
