Hi I'trying tro do NAT and Filtering via a transfer network and got a little problem here, configuration as follows (this is gonna be a lot of information): | Internet ------------------ | Cisco-Router | |213.30.216.41/29| ------------------ | ------------------ (Switch-1 is needed because there | Switch-1 | will be two more servers in the ------------------ public network.) | | eth1 213.30.216.46/29 ------------------ | RedHat9-Box | |for NAT&Firewall| ------------------ | eth0 10.49.0.254/24 | ------------------ | Switch-2 | ------------------ | | eth0 10.49.0.2/24 ----------------------- | Example Windows Box | | (Workstations) | ----------------------- * * * * * * * * * * IP-configuration of the Redhat9-Box: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward is set to 1 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:80:5F:EF:98:61 inet addr:10.49.0.254 Bcast:10.49.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1799 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:85 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:167870 (163.9 Kb) TX bytes:8172 (7.9 Kb) Interrupt:9 Base address:0x6400 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:FC:60:D3:D2 inet addr:213.30.216.46 Bcast:213.30.216.47 Mask:255.255.255.248 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:60937 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:55418 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:3 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:7250217 (6.9 Mb) TX bytes:14255761 (13.5 Mb) Interrupt:9 Base address:0x1000 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:3394 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:3394 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:172834 (168.7 Kb) TX bytes:172834 (168.7 Kb) Kernel IP routing table: Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 213.30.216.40 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.248 U 0 0 0 eth1 10.49.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo Iptables-Configuration: # Generated by iptables-save v1.2.7a on Tue Dec 6 17:35:13 2005 *mangle :PREROUTING ACCEPT [46:2583] :INPUT ACCEPT [46:2583] :FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [42:2120] :POSTROUTING ACCEPT [42:2120] COMMIT # Completed on Tue Dec 6 17:35:13 2005 # Generated by iptables-save v1.2.7a on Tue Dec 6 17:35:13 2005 *nat :PREROUTING ACCEPT [5:487] :POSTROUTING ACCEPT [19:1140] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [19:1140] # For the moment, the web and mailserver are behind the firewall -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 25 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.49.0.252:25 -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.49.0.252:80 -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 110 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.49.0.252:110 -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 143 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.49.0.252:143 -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j SNAT --to-source 213.30.216.46 COMMIT # Completed on Tue Dec 6 17:35:13 2005 # Generated by iptables-save v1.2.7a on Tue Dec 6 17:35:13 2005 *filter :INPUT DROP [22:1402] :FORWARD ACCEPT [1655:671022] :OUTPUT DROP [0:0] -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i eth0 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i eth1 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i eth1 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 53 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i eth1 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 10001 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT -A OUTPUT -o lo -j ACCEPT -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -j ACCEPT -A OUTPUT -o eth1 -m state --state NEW,RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT COMMIT # Completed on Tue Dec 6 17:35:13 2005 * * * * * * * * * * I have no access to the configuration of the Cisco-router (ISP-Box). For the Windows boxes, the gateway is set to eth0 of the Firewall (10.49.0.254) which is reachable by a ping. Problem: Nothing in the public network or the internet is reachable from the private network. Since i can ping as well the public as the private network from the RedHat-Box, i assume that NAT isn't working. Question: What did I forget or do wrong?
