Fixed. This really wasn't a firewall or a masquarding problem at all. Att changed their name servers, and I didn't. Simple as that. Thanks Robert for your suggestion (yes I had IP forwarding turned on ;) and sorry to bother this list !! -- Ryan * Robert C. Paulsen Jr. <paulsen@texas.net> wrote on [12-02-01y 16:27]:

Hi SuSE Security,
I'm new to this list. Due to changed to Excite at home shutting down, I had to make some changes to my firewall config. I used to have a static IP and everything worked great, but now I have a dynamic IP assigned via DHCP. Behind my SuSE 7.1 machine, I'm running a LAN that uses masquerading through the SuSE machine.
I'm getting my DHCP offer just fine, and have hull access to the Internet from my SuSE machine, but I cannot access the Internet from any machine behind the SuSE machine. I've tweaked everything I can in /etc/rc.config.d/firewall.rc.config and restarted my firewall many times. Any ideas?
Do you have the following enabled in /et/rc.config:
# # Runtime-configurable parameter: forward IP packets. # Is this host a router? (yes/no) # IP_FORWARD="yes"
I believe it is set to "no" by default. You will next need to reboot or run the following command (as root):
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
