I'm setting up a Linux box as a server to several Windows 2000 machines using Red Hat 7.2.
I realize that this edition of Red Hat does not come with a lot of the nice GUI's.
I've got two problems.
(1) I'm trying to set IP masquerading to allow my Windows clients to access the Internet, using iptables. I have been searching everywhere for documentations on this, but they don't really work.
(2) The default firewall settings with iptables seems to block everything. I couldn't even ping anywhere with it. Does anyone know how I can go about this?
I really appreciate any replies. It's driving me nuts :O)
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
Do you know where I can find information on firewall rules? I saw some pretty hairy examples out there, and I do not know the purposes of all the different ports that they are using.
On eth0, to Internet I put squid (proxy server) and on eth1, to inside I put DHCP Server!
The default firewall settings with iptables seems to block everything (only squid on port 80 is on). Does anyone know how I can forward services from eth1 to eth0?
