Hey,

I have a Mandriva 2008 box setup with 3 nics installed.
Eth0 is connected to the internet and is working fine.
Eth1 is connected to my laptop, and is routing perfectly

Here's where my problem begins. Eth2 i need to also connect to the internet via the Mandriva box, however in the internet sharing wizard, it only gives you the option to connect one other nic for sharing. Is there something i can edit somewhere, possibly to do with shorewall that will allow traffic to be forwarded from both eth1 and eth2?

Many thanks, any help will be gratefully received.

Not a Mandriva user but sounds like to me it lacks support for more than 2 nics. I would look into disabling the Mandriva firewall tools and install one of the many firewall tools like firestarter or fwbuilder and construct it the way you want.

This is as i'd feared, lol. You've saved me some time messing around with shorewall.

Thanks brian.

note that a distro having an overly simplistic gui for something by no means means it can't do it... configuring what you want is actually very simple through a console directly...

I agree using the console defiantly gets more things done and usually quicker to me than gui tools. At this way you know how it actually works. I guess that is from more than 30 years of computer usage in my veins.
