trying to understand your question better -- does eth1 use dhcp to get a connection from the ISP? On 11/25/06, first last <doctor_konkord@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Hi all. I have a SuSE Linux box with two network interfaces. An ethernet which I use to connect to the ISP, and a wireless interface to share Internet with my room mate. The problem is when I change the MAC address of my ethernet card (eth1) in order to get a different IP address from ISP, iptables no longer does the masquerading, thus my friend can't access to the Internet anymore. I try to restart iptables but nothing happens. Our guess is that iptables uses real mac addresses of network interfaces to forward and NAT ip packets, so it doesn't work with virtual MAC address. can anyone please suggest a solution to this issue?
