hi,

i've installed redhat 9.0 for my router and managed to configure my connect to my isp(using rp-pppoe) on eth1. My client can ping to the router 192.168.0.1(eth0) but could not browse the Internet...what seems to be the problem?

If you are using your RedHat box only as a router, why not use IP Cop or Smoothwall instead. It would be alot easier to configure and maintain.

hello dawn_angel ,

Do you proxy work well ? because proxy can influence that can't browsing

bye.....

nope...just a normal linux router using RedHat 9.0...and i'm not using dhcp...
thanks

Maybe your configuration is not complete or mistake ! Because Redhat 9.0 there is many bugs

may be u can try to use ip forwarding to route ur eth0 to eth1

echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
iptables -P FORWARD DROP
iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth1 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -i eth1 -o eth0 -j ACCEPT

try this..... hopefully it is working for u

youre probably going to need to set up te routing table too:

route add -net default gw 192.168.0.1 dev eth0
or maybe something like:
route add -net 0.0.0.0 gw (ip of eth1) <incomplete command>

(thats just one of the lines youll be using, if i could see your network in
my head id give you the rest of them, i find that making drawings helps
reign in the variables)

'man route' is good, but not as good as 'man tcpdump', but all youll need
is 'man route'

You will not be able to route directly between the computers connected to your 192.168.0.0 network and your ISP. You'll ned to use NAT(Network Address Translation) for that. It can be done with the iptables that comes with RH 9. See this link:

http://www.iptables.org/documentatio...NAT-HOWTO.html

You'll also need to execute this command that yenonn mentioned:

echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

to start your machine forwarding packets between the interfaces.


If you are going to use iptables for the NATing, you should read through some of the other documentation on the iptables.org site to familiarize yourself with it.
