hi all I upgraded my router-486 linux box from SuSE 5.3 to 6.0 and I have lost my masquerading ability. The network between my three PCs works great, and the router box is still the default gateway for the other two. I used to get masquerading started by doing ipfwadm -F -p deny ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.1.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0 in my boot.local, but boot.local got overwritten in the upgrade with no backup in /var/adm/backup. So, I'm trying to execute the above two comands on the command line of the router, but packets never get through from my workstations to the internet. I've never gotten YaST to configure my firewall/masq setup properly, but I'd like to have another go at it. Here's what I think I should have, but it doesn't work; someone set me straight!
