Hi there,
We want to connect to a SMTP/POP server on the
internet from our LAN with:
iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -p tcp -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -p udp -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -j DROP
iptables -t nat -o eth1 -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE
When we try to access from the workstation to the POP
server we get a message: 'connection to x.com timed
out', we can however access the mail on the firewall -
even if the connection is slow.
Please help us out ...
# Our general setup:
# RedHat 8.0 firewall with iptables installed on PII
400MHz
# eth0 = our LAN and eth1 = Internet
# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward => 1
# gateway on workstation in LAN pointing to firewall
# gateway defined for eth1 pointing to router
Thanks in advance,
Frank
