hi, everybody! i have a problem that you may help to solve, surely. i have a server (a) connected to the internet via eth0/ppp0 (adsl). another computer (b) is connected to this server thru eth1, and it should reach the internet via the server which is its gateway. and so it did!... up to a month ago. i think nothing's changed. all i did was a re-installing of my gentoo based system on the server, due to problems on the hard-disk. but firewall rules (iptables) remain the same. and the netted computer can't reach the internet anymore! things got exquisite because: - i ping any site on the internet from (b) and i can see their pongs. - irc (msn) also works fine! - google's pages load correctly! and for my despair i can access <facilcotacao.com>, but can't access <facilcotacao.com/autopecas>!!!! please, help me! what the hell is wrong with my firewall? many thanks in advance, angico. table filter is: Chain INPUT (policy DROP) num target prot opt source destination 1 ACCEPT all -- 192.168.0.0/24 boitata.jlm 2 ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED 3 ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp spt:domain 4 ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp spt:http state NEW,RELATED,ESTABLISHED 5 ACCEPT icmp -- anywhere anywhere icmp echo-reply 6 ACCEPT icmp -- anywhere anywhere icmp echo-request Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) num target prot opt source destination 1 LOG all -- anywhere anywhere LOG level warning prefix `IPT-FWD: ' 2 ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) num target prot opt source destination 1 LOG all -- anywhere anywhere LOG level warning prefix `IPT-OUT: ' 2 ACCEPT all -- boitata.jlm 192.168.0.0/24 and table nat is: Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT) num target prot opt source destination Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT) num target prot opt source destination 1 MASQUERADE all -- anywhere anywhere 2 MASQUERADE all -- anywhere anywhere Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) num target prot opt source destination ____________________________________________________________________________________ Get your own web address.
