Hello all,
Well this seemed like the best place to put this If I'm wrong I apoligize.
I have a FC4 box sitting on a cable modem Eth1 and my local LAN sitting on Eth0. I would like to be able to connect through my Linux box to the local Microsoft RAS Server.
Here are my networks.
Eth1 Cable Modem = Internet
Eth0 Local Lan = 172.17.137.11
Microsoft Ras Server = 172.17.137.103
I want to connect from the outside through the internet connection (ETH1) and have it pass it to the RAS server on the local LAN (172.17.137.103)
I went to Firestarter's website (which this forum wouldn't let me post because I haven't made enough posts)
And added the following to the
/etc/firestarter/user-pre
Code:
# Forward PPTP VPN connections to internal server
SERVER=172.17.137.103 # Internal VPN server
$IPT -A FORWARD -i $IF -o $INIF -p tcp --dport 1723 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
$IPT -t nat -A PREROUTING -i $IF -p tcp --dport 1723 -j DNAT --to $SERVER
$IPT -A FORWARD -i $IF -o $INIF -p 47 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
$IPT -t nat -A PREROUTING -i $IF -p 47 -j DNAT --to $SERVER
I am unable to make it work. The Firestarter Firewall does not appear to be forwarding the traffic.
I hope that is clear. There are two reason I want to use my Linux box for this.
1.) Linux seems to be a heck of a lot more secure than Windows.
2.) If I set this up like this I'll give our outside stores a way to connect to our network if the T1 goes down.
Thanks for any help
Eric
