Can anyone help me out with IP Masquerade in SuSE 6.4 on my dialup link? With my ISP it works fine for ping, ftp, telnet and smtp, but the http packets never come back. I tried another ISP, and then http works too. OK, my ISP may be blocking the port numbers IP Masquerade is using. But if I use Freesco to masquerade, everything works OK, even with my ISP. Experiments are all repeatable. Does Freesco use different port numbers to masquerade than SuSE? How can I configure SuSE to work like Freesco? - I need more services on the router than Freesco offers.
Does your ISP use an http proxy? Maybe you should enable the correct port for their proxy (i.e. 8080, 8088, etc.)
Thanks for the reply - I'm not sure of the answer and my ISP is pretty slow about answering the harder questions. How can I tell if the alternative http ports are enabled? I can try enabling them, but I don't know where to look.
