Take a look here: http://netfilter.samba.org/documentation/ for pointers to lots and lots of detailed explanations. The answers you want are in there - but you'll need to do some studying. > I don't see any FORWARD rule here. You know, like between the > interfaces. And what's '-t mangle' got to do with anything? That's right. You don't need any for your application. Remember that netfilter rules are generally for **filtering** packets, not for forwarding packets. Take a look at the line towards the bottom of the script I sent that turns on IP forwarding. That line turns your Linux system into a router. It tells the kernel to forward packets from one ethernet interface to the other and out to the network on the other end. The -t mangle stuff is just being thorough. Netfilter has several tables and the mangle table is one of them. It's good practice to flush and zero all tables when you set these scripts up. Take it out if you want. - Greg -----Original Message----- From: Tony Earnshaw [mailto:tonni@billy.demon.nl] Sent: Saturday, June 01, 2002 10:05 AM To: Greg Scott Cc: Stef Coene; Neil Aggarwal; Linux Advanced Routing & Traffic Control List Subject: RE: [LARTC] How to lør, 2002-06-01 kl. 16:55 skrev Greg Scott: > I know the other list is for netfilter stuff but heck, if I can help > I'll give it a try... Sigh. I don't see any FORWARD rule here. You know, like between the interfaces. And what's '-t mangle' got to do with anything? *Let the fellow go to a list that will look after him properly* Best, Tony -- Tony Earnshaw e-post: tonni@billy.demon.nl www: http://www.billy.demon.nl gpg public key: http://www.billy.demon.nl/tonni.armor Telefoon: (+31) (0)172 530428 Mobiel: (+31) (0)6 51153356 GPG Fingerprint = 3924 6BF8 A755 DE1A 4AD6 FA2B F7D7 6051 3BE7 B981 3BE7B981 _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
