Assuming your configuration is correct, have you checked to make sure that the NIC in your second linux box works okay? I once had a similar problem with a faulty NIC. Take a look at ifconfig's output for eth0 and see if there are errors there. It could also be that if you're using a combo card, you've enabled the co-ax connector while using RJ-45, or vice versa... -Ahsan ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Johnson" <ioann@cais.com> To: <linux-net@vger.rutgers.edu> Sent: Monday, July 03, 2000 3:19 PM > Pardon me for asking a dumb newbie question, but this has been giving me > conniptions for the past few weeks, and I've checked the FAQs without > success. > > I have configured an older Pentium-class machine as a packet-filtering > router and Internet gateway using ipchains.
