[SLE] NAT, PAT, Masquerade?
Hi list, I have a Linux box (6.3) routeing my internal net to the outside world. I use ipcains masquerading. Here's what I've got (very simple): ipchains -F ipchains -I forward -j MASQ I know, it's not safe, but this isn't the real thing, but it works this way (to give you a sample of how I do it). My problem is: - FTP fails often - Telnet is inbelieveably slow (often no more than 10 chars per minute) - HTTP goes real fast (strangly enough) - other services just fail (ICQ, IRC, VDOLive, etc..) Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I heard something about TOS'ses? Type Of Services? Can anybody explain to me what that means and how I should implement it?

I can't answer all your questions, but I can answer a few. First of all you need to read a little more on masq. There are some modules that you should be running that will fix the ftp, vdo, irc and icq problems. There are a few other programs that have trouble though like netmeeting. There is a module for that also now but I don't think it runs on all kernels. You might check with George T. on that. I know he was playing with it. If you get those modules set up then most of your problems will end. There is a script that you can set up in your config in yast that will load the modules for you. Do a little poking around and you will find it. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Darren R.

Thanks, I'll look into it. The modules btw are all loaded. Rogier Maas -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
