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?
