This is probably a stupid question but here goes.

I have a SuSE 6.3 box operating as a dialup server to the internet.  When the user 
dialin they are assigned ip's in the range 192.168.x.x  using ipchains to route them 
through our permanent ip of 210.x.x.211.   This works perfectly.

I have another machine on the local LAN with an IP of 210.x.x.212. From this 
machine I can access the internet by setting the 210.x.x.211 machine as the 
gateway. This works with no ipchains set.

My problem is that from the internet  if I dialin from any other isp, I can ping the 
210.x.x.211 gateway, so I know the packets are getting through the internet and 
landing inside our network, but I cannot ping the 210.x.x.212 machine. Something 
must be blocking it. As I mentioned above I can ping from 212 to the internet so it 
seems my routing is correct, but i can't ping in the reverse (from the internet to the 
212 machine).

Can anyone advise?

TIA

chris
