Hi there, I've a linux machine acting as a router. I'm VERY happy with it and I'm learning a lot (iptables rocks). Now, I've something strange that I don't know how to solve. I've a static public IP, let's imagine - 100.100.100.1 All the requests to that IP are redirected to the internal ip - 192.168.1.6 Now, inside 192.168.1.6 if I ping 100.100.100.1 I get: 64 bytes from 100.100.100.1: icmp_seq=16 ttl=61 time=23.7 ms But, if I ping 'localhost' I get: 64 bytes from localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.044 ms This means that the ping that I'm doing to 100.100.100.1 is going to the router, going to the outside, coming back to the router and to the internal machine again. Can I "say" something to the linux router to just redirect all the requests to the 100.100.100.1 ip to the internal machine 192.168.1.6? Thanks a lot for the help. ===== Miguel Manso mmanso@xxxxxxxxx __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier. Bingo. http://search.yahoo.com
