I have an Intel x86_64 system running rhel 7.0 I want to use this system as a Firewall. The system has two NICs. one NIC is defined with the static IP address from my ISP. The other NIC is also static i.e. no dhcp, and is assigned a LAN addrs of 192.168.10.6 It is plugged into a switch (192.168.10.1) that has other three devices plugged in. Each with it's own hard-coded LAN address (Netmask is 255.255.255.0) I have two zones active in the firewall config External (using the static ip from the ISP) and Internal (using the IP addrs of 192.168.10.6) I'm forwarding the following two ports 80 & 443 in both zones. External zone: ports 80 & 443 are forwarded to my switch (192.168.10.1) Internal zone: ports 80 & 443 are forwarded to my static IP addrs from my ISP. I have IP masquerading turned on in the External zones. However none of the other workstations (Windows 7 professional) and my "smart" TV (netflix access) are able to access the internet. Again I'm NOT using any dhcp, all IP addresses are hard coded. I can ping any LAN address from any LAN node. The Linux FW machine can access the internet. I've read thru the RHEL 7.0 Security guide regarding setting up the firewall and I believe I have all the elements defined properly ... It just doesn't work. I have the same set of DNS values defined on all systems.
They are the three DNS servers assigned by my ISP. I have ipv4 forwarding active on my Linux system. I have masquerading "turned on" in the External zone. The resolv.conf file has the ip addresses of the DNS servers as well as my switch.
However the windows 7 systems and my "smart" TV cannot access the internet.
Anyone who's really familiar with rhel firewall-config GUI and has any suggestions please respond.
Thanks
Guy

Post ur iptable rules
#iptables -L

Hi Zafar Thanks for your response. However, in RHEL 7.0 using the firewall-config GUI, the iptables are not used. firewall-config uses a set of xml files
instead. The iptables directory on my RHEL 7.0 Linux machine is empty.
