Re: NAT or Proxy?

["John Paul" <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

oh yes, it was a TYPO ERROR in my part. that should be;

 

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE

 

*shrug*

 

so, how can I establish plug and play connectivity w/o changing the ip addess of the client. Is it possible to do so?

Change your ACCEPT to MAQUERADE.. ACCEPT will cause your 192.168.0.0 IPs to go out to the internet and guess what the ISP does to them.. yes, drops them...

 

Thanks,

Hi,

 

Case: My "PC" is configured to have a static IP (say 1.2.3.4). My private network is 192.168.0.0/24. I have  a firewall, NAT and squid running in my box.

 

snip...(iptables)

 

echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j ACCEPT

etc...

 

Question: Im trying to establish plug and play connectivity. Can "PC" surf the net connected to the private network (i.e. 192.168.0.0/24) w/o changing its IP Address (1.2.3.4)??? Can this be handled by a firewall rule or by squid???

 

Your help/tip/comments is very much appreciated.

 

TIA
