So I guess the DNS is working, but the Windows box can't get anything in or out.

What do I need to setup?

Ah, the joys of working with WINDOWS.... NOT !!!

<g>

Lets assume you aren't running DHCP on your internal network....

I am not.

I'll describe my setup and you can modify to suit.

Gateway (to the outside) - 192.168.1.254

Do I actually have to setup a Gateway, or by 'Gateway' do you mean my Linux box?

On Evilware, go to the Control Panel/Network and set the following;

IP Address - 192.168.1.100 Netmask - 255.255.255.0

This is already set.

Enable DNS, and set the DNS server to the DNS of your ISP

The DNS server was set to my Linux box (which does resolve correctly), if I change it to my ISP's, it can resolve the names, let alone let me connect to them. Many thanks for you help Phil -- Linux 2.4.4-4GB 10:14am up 2:47, 1 user, load average: 0.18, 0.11, 0.19

I have a working BIND configuration, and if I ping "www.slashdot.org" on my windows machine, I get...

Pinging www.slashdot.org [64.28.67.150] ....

So I guess the DNS is working, but the Windows box can't get anything in or out.

you should pick some other site to test with ping.. slashdot has set their firewall to not respond to pings. try www.google.com

Still no joy. I guess I need to either setup my linux box as a router, use IPChains or SuSEFirewall or a combination of the three. I have spent the day messing about with SuSEFirewall, but seams to deny all packets from everywhere on everything regardless of what I put in the config file, and it complains about my 2.4 kernel (it would prefer 2.2), so I had to uninstall it.

Install SuSEFirewall2 , it likes the 2.4 kernel, and the configuration file is very easy to setup for masquerading. -- $|=1;while(1){print pack("h*",'75861647f302d4560275f6272797f3');sleep(1); for(1..16){for(8,32,8,7){print chr($_);}select(undef,undef,undef,.05);}}

Well things have gone better this time, the SuSEfirewall2 seams to be up and running and I can access we,mail and news from my linux box, and I can access my linux box on the required ports from the internet.

The only thing is, masquarading is not working from my Windows box. I can access my Linux box via 'internal' IP addresses, but external ones are not being forwarded.

I don't think masqurading is the problem this time.

SPT-source port is 1033, DPT-destination port is 1900, UDP protocol. Have you opened UDP port 1900 on your internal interface?

eth0 is my internal ethernet card 192.168.110.3 is my Windows box 192.168.110.2 is my Linux box

HTH. You can always see which ports are being blocked, decide if they should be or not, then edit /etc/rc.config.d/firewall2.rc.config to open them. Then, SuSEfirewall2 restart (or was it stop, then start?). -- Joe & Sesil Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871

again output of the folowing would help us to see the cause of your problem grep -v ^# /etc/firewall.rc.config -- Togan Muftuoglu Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer http://dinamizm.ath.cx

The correct command is this one sorry for the previous one

grep -v ^# /etc/rc.config.d/firewall.rc.config

Sounds like the problem I have in the last email I send before I go to sleep. I love when that happens when I am sending it to my boss or a client... WOOOOPS, let me grab it back, AAAHHHHGGG. Sorry, going to sleep now ;-)

can you post the output of the following

grep version /etc/rc.config.d/firewall.rc.config grep -v ^# /etc/rc.config.d/firewall.rc.config

I have uninstalled SuSEFirewall so firewall.rc.config is gone

grep ^IP_FORWARD /etc/rc.config
