Here is the setup I would like to use: I am using a Redhat 3 box to
firewall and nat an internal network with both Windows and Linux
clients. The windows clients need to be able to login and see their
drives on a windows server that is located on another network on the
other side on the Linux box. The natting seems to work find (all
clients can browse the Internet), however when the windows clients log
in and then try to access their drives on the server in the other
network all they see is their local drive. No error is shown during the
login. Is there a way to get this to work through the Linux box? I
have seen people mention to nat everything but the netbios traffic ( not
sure about that). Also, there is the LMHOSTS file, is that a possible
solution? I'm not very familiar with windows, so this is really
challenging me. Hopefully, the diagram below will further clarify.
Also,
it is desired to keep the Windows server in its present location.

Thank You
You did not mention any use other than that of a router/firewall...
Just a suggestion but why go through the trouble of installing RH3? Why
not a purpose built kernel specifically tailored for router/firewall
duty? I use Smoothwall Express. It has an active community (just as
with RH) and is purpose-built for the task you're looking for. You can
have it running inside of 20 minutes and it's pretty solid. I have a
couple of places where I have manually adjusted mine to suit certain
needs (Multiple external IP addresses and Full Firewall Control) but it
runs very nicely. I can give you more info offlist if you like.
