Ubuntu 7.04 Gateway Problem
 

Hi there!

I have installed and setup Ubuntu 7.04 (Server Edition) as my gateway router for the home network.
I have iBurst as my internet connection on ib0, and my network on eth1.
Using IpTables, I can connect to the internet on the server itself and through a windows PC over the network.
However, certain sites won't load. For instance, if I try to load the Documentation page on the Ubuntu site (seems to be HTTPS), Firefox just keeps on saying "Connecting to site" and times out. If I load that page with a text based browser on the server itself, it loads the page. It seems as though it has some trouble with HTTPS connections (I can like browse Google, etc). Also on my windows PC, if I try to update my AVG Antivirus, it goes and shows a selection of what I want to update but on the update process itself, it doesn't download at all.
Could this be an Ubuntu problem or did I miss something?
I basically have my firewall on ACCEPT for everything and it just has masquerading on (as soon as this is fixed, then I will add more security).
I tried this with Shorewall firewall as well with the exact same outcome. I just wonder if it is maybe a routing issue? All I have on my routing table is my home network: 192.168.0.0.

I followed this URL for ICS: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/In...nectionSharing
(Also modified the '/etc/sysctl.conf' file as specified)

Currently I have my internet on my windows PC.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
God Bless!

I came on this web page: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...cps/+bug/84537
This explains about an IP forwarding bug in Ubuntu. I followed their instructions before, the HTTP pages loads without a problem but HTTPS pages won't.
I commented out those lines in sysctl.conf and no ip forwarding took place, just like with the HTTPS pages.
Does the 7.10 Ubuntu Server have this issue? Is there a way for me to upgrade to the latest Ubuntu server from 7.04?

Thanks

i have problem in iburst with ubuntu-7.10
 

hello all,

please ihave this problem that wants fix it .

I am using ubuntu-7.10 and want to configure iburst PCMCIA modem ,what the correct steps ???

Hint: in ubuntu forum and problem not fixed until now .

So ,i want step by step configure the modem.

Thanks in advice.

I decided to go back to OpenSuSE. I found out how easy it actually was to set up my iBurst on it and to have masquerading to work, etc.
Although, I would like to know how to fix the Ubuntu issue, Ubuntu is for me a good distro to work on other than SuSE.
