Hello, I have a small network at my house (where I work out of, lucky me!) and I have been running Linux 7.3 and ipchains for sometime now. I have a Linux 8 box built and ready to roll, but everytime I try to get it running, I run into roadblocks. The issues are this. 1) When I first get everything running I have access to the internet from my firewall box through eth0, I setup iptables to masquerade all, that is all I do... it worked in the past, but seems to not be working now. I can't even ping eth1 from inside my network. 2) I need to do PPTP through my iptables firewall and I can't... I'm very confused and frustrated, this has been going on for about a month and I can't find any help. anyone that can help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you in advance. KJ
