I have reduced my rules for testing purposes to:
iptables --table nat -A POSTROUTING --out-interface ppp0 -j MASQUERADE
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
Now my Xterminal's telnet client (only thing I can test with) and
dns lookups go through my forwarding just fine. But when I connected my
friend's Powerbook (Graphite edition?) with OS/X up to it, I saw NO traffice
with iptstate.
- The Mac DID get an IP address (but not nameserver entries) from my dhcpd
successfully.
- even failed lookups (bad iptables rules) from my Xterminal showed up on
iptstate
Could the OS/X implementation of TCP/IP have something odd with it?
