Folks, If anyone has a Debian fireall box using two nics and some services running on it, please help!!!! I'm fairly certain my ipchains script is ok, but here's what happening. I booted the box and it has all the info my current Slackware server/firewall box has so in other words the ips are correct and the nics I've installed appear to be up and showing the correct ips as well. I simply can't get outside my own firewall. I tried flushing the rules, but not so sure that is the problem either. I will say that I am running a 2.4.18 kernel and added in the ipchains style packet filtering to work with my old ipchains script I copied from my current Slackware box. I can ping both interfaces, both internal and external. It would appear that perhaps packets aren't being forwarded, but I probably am missing something somewhere. Does Debian have a document on how to setup my type of configuration? I may simply again be missing some critical step. Slack and Debian are different enough that I've probably simply missed something and have forgotten. I've had a working box for so long that I've not had to mess with it much.<grin> tnx Btw, has anyone upgraded an older Slackware install to a new one? Did the upgrade go well, was it simple enough as far as packages working out without blowups etc.? Did you have to boot off new boot and roots floppies to do the install? I've heard getting the new Slackware is difficult and something about the floppies will not work? tnx
