Ankush,
Your FC3 system is configured incorrectly with the rest of your network.
Firstly, both of your FC3 network cards are on the same subnet
(192.168.1/24), so they won't route anything; hence the erratic network
behavior.
Your default gateway (192.168.1.110) is connected to your FC3 eth0. As
far as the FC3 system is concerned, it will send all data out of the
eth0 NIC, so all ping requests/responses are not being sent to your
Win98 box. That's why it only works when you disable the FC3 eth1
interface (they are both on the same network, that's bad).
If you want your FC3 system to act as a router (or transparent proxy),
then change:
FC3 eth1 --> 192.168.2. something
W98 eth0 --> 192.168.2. something else
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
(W98 box needs to point to FC3 eth1 as it's default gateway.)
Then enable packet forwarding...
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
However, if you want to configure transparent proxy, you don't need to
enable port forwarding, you need to redirect all outbound HTTP requests
to the Squid port. This can be done with a simple iptables rule on your
FC3 box:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -s 192.168.2.0/24 -p tcp --dport
80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128
hey,
Is it necessary that the clients connecting to the eth1 on the FC3
should be on the different subnet than the eth0?
Is it possible to keep both the ethernet cards on the same subnet and
transparent proxy should work efficiently ?
Thanks & Regards
