Hi bruce !
There is a nice tutorian on www.ibm.com in the developerworks section. You can search it by the title "Linux 2.4 stateful firewall design". It is a tutorial for what you want to do. Its very easy and short.
But it uses iptables.......I hope it hepls!!
Good Luck!

Well after much dickering around I've got me SuSE 7.1 this far on my router box
1. I can now ping my eth0 and eth1 on my router from box1/linux 2. I con now ping www.yahoo.com for my router 3. I can now ping eth0 on my box from the router
4. I can not exist router from "box1/linux" to the internet and beyond.
I'm running SuSEfirewall1
based no what I've seen in the firewall log I'm lead to believe that it is the firewall that is not letting me out. If this is true which setting could be the culprit?
I've read the doc's for the firewall been through the config a dozen times. I'm sure it is just something simple, if you think you might know please drop you suggestions to the list. Thanks.
Thanks for the pointer, but I'd like to solve the problem with the SuSEfirewall first before I tackle IPtables and the 2.4.X kernel.

You didn't mention what IP number sequences were used, but have you set FW_FORWARD_TCP to "yes", and if your using private sequences, have you set FW_MASQ to "yes". Perhaps it would be easier if you posted your firewall.rc.config Regards Anders
