I dunno if this is a routing problem or my iptables. route: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.9.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default 192.168.10.240 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1 ifconfig: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:02:55:EE:C3:91 inet addr:192.168.9.1 Bcast:192.168.255.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:377635 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:7192 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:216836627 (206.7 Mb) TX bytes:808284 (789.3 Kb) Interrupt:10 Base address:0xa000 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:5A:D0:19:16 inet addr:192.168.8.232 Bcast:192.168.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1914380 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1522009 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:1 collisions:2946 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:480613108 (458.3 Mb) TX bytes:1246359355 (1188.6 Mb) Interrupt:10 Base address:0xb800 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:40969 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:40969 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:5714853 (5.4 Mb) TX bytes:5714853 (5.4 Mb) iptables: LOGGED: IN=eth1 OUT= MAC=00:10:5a:d0:19:16:00:09:6b:e2:31:d7:08:00 SRC=192.168.8.11 DST=192.168.9.1 LEN=48 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=128 ID=63630 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=2138 DPT=3128 WINDOW=64240 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 LOGGED: IN=eth1 OUT= MAC=00:10:5a:d0:19:16:00:09:6b:e2:31:d7:08:00 SRC=192.168.8.11 DST=192.168.9.1 LEN=48 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=128 ID=63746 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=2140 DPT=3128 WINDOW=64240 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 LOGGED: IN=eth1 OUT= MAC=00:10:5a:d0:19:16:00:09:6b:e2:31:d7:08:00 SRC=192.168.8.11 DST=192.168.9.1 LEN=48 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=128 ID=63825 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=2142 DPT=3128 WINDOW=64240 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 How come iptables still says eth1 is being used by 192.168.9.1? This has been my biggest problem. I hope to restrict in iptables that eth0 is used by 192.168.9.1 for security reasons. I have no forwarding or any routing settings yet with iptables but a simple logging just to find out if the network interfaces work properly. fritz <www.mesedilla.com> --- + Basta Ikaw Lord ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
