OK I can't figure this one out here is the scenario
my office has two networked computers on it. mine, and the older agents computer. mine dual boots between winxp and slackware10. the other runs win98se. What I need to do is configure my box to share internet with win98se box no matter what os i am using on this computer.
I configured winxp fine and it works, i used the floppy in the setup wizard to config the win98se box.
1. I configured my eth0 card to have an internal address of 192.168.0.1 since this is what my winxp assigns the eth0.
2. I set up an rc.firewallscript to enable IP Masqing:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
#
# rc.firewall-2.4
FWVER=0.75
#
# Initial SIMPLE IP Masquerade test for 2.4.x kernels
# using IPTABLES.
#
# Once IP Masquerading has been tested, with this simple
# ruleset, it is highly recommended to use a stronger
# IPTABLES ruleset either given later in this HOWTO or
# from another reputable resource.
#
#
#
# Log:
# 0.75 - Added more kernel modules to the comments section
# 0.74 - the ruleset now uses modprobe vs. insmod
# 0.73 - REJECT is not a legal policy yet; back to DROP
# 0.72 - Changed the default block behavior to REJECT not DROP
# 0.71 - Added clarification that PPPoE users need to use
# "ppp0" instead of "eth0" for their external interface
# 0.70 - Added commented option for IRC nat module
# - Added additional use of environment variables
# - Added additional formatting
# 0.63 - Added support for the IRC IPTABLES module
# 0.62 - Fixed a typo on the MASQ enable line that used eth0
# instead of $EXTIF
# 0.61 - Changed the firewall to use variables for the internal
# and external interfaces.
# 0.60 - 0.50 had a mistake where the ruleset had a rule to DROP
# all forwarded packets but it didn't have a rule to ACCEPT
# any packets to be forwarded either
# - Load the ip_nat_ftp and ip_conntrack_ftp modules by default
# 0.50 - Initial draft
#
echo -e "\n\nLoading simple rc.firewall version $FWVER..\n"
# The location of the iptables and kernel module programs
#
# If your Linux distribution came with a copy of iptables,
# most likely all the programs will be located in /sbin. If
# you manually compiled iptables, the default location will
# be in /usr/local/sbin
#
# ** Please use the "whereis iptables" command to figure out
# ** where your copy is and change the path below to reflect
# ** your setup
#
#IPTABLES=/sbin/iptables
IPTABLES=/usr/sbin/iptables
DEPMOD=/sbin/depmod
MODPROBE=/sbin/modprobe
#Setting the EXTERNAL and INTERNAL interfaces for the network
#
# Each IP Masquerade network needs to have at least one
# external and one internal network. The external network
# is where the natting will occur and the internal network
# should preferably be addressed with a RFC1918 private address
# scheme.
#
# For this example, "eth0" is external and "eth1" is internal"
#
#
# NOTE: If this doesnt EXACTLY fit your configuration, you must
# change the EXTIF or INTIF variables above. For example:
#
# If you are a PPPoE or analog modem user:
#
# EXTIF="ppp0"
#
#
EXTIF="ppp0"
INTIF="eth0"
echo " External Interface: $EXTIF"
echo " Internal Interface: $INTIF"

#
# ipt_multiport - this match allows for targets within a range

# ipt_unclean - this match allows to catch packets that have invalid

3. I set up samba, file sharing works fine between the two boxes.
4. here is my ifconfig output:
5. pinging: with the windows box i can ping: the eth0 interface, and the ppp0 interface, not anything beyond it.
with the linux box i can ping the windows box fine also
my win98se also has an ip of 192.168.0.5, i don't know where it got this ip, prolly from my winxp box, since the win98se is set up to retrieve ips automatically... so do i need to set up a dhcpd maybe? sth else?
ok one last lil annoyance. ere thing works now except I have to run rc.firewall AFTER i dial up on ppp or kppp. If i do it before it won't work... is there a work around this?

if this wasn't happening with your old script, then try this:

i have never used that option before, but judging from this part of your old script, it seems it might be related to your issue:

Wow...sorry to bring this old thread back, but I had to ask a question. I've been using this script now for quite a while (great script by the way). Well, I like to use firestarter, but lately, I've been wanting to get my hands dirty with iptables. The one thing that I haven't been able to figure out is how can I make iptables log when packets are droped while using this script. I've tried a couple of things, but none has worked. I'm pretty sure I'm doing something wrong. Thanks!

just add a rule with target LOG to the end of the relevant chain... like:
#!/bin/sh
IPT=/usr/sbin/iptables
EXTIF="ppp0"
INTIF="eth0"
/sbin/modprobe ip_tables
/sbin/modprobe ip_conntrack
/sbin/modprobe ip_nat_ftp
/sbin/modprobe ip_conntrack_ftp
#/sbin/modprobe ip_nat_irc
#/sbin/modprobe ip_conntrack_irc
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr
$IPT -F
$IPT -F -t nat
$IPT -F -t mangle
$IPT -X
$IPT -X -t nat
$IPT -X -t mangle
$IPT -P INPUT DROP
$IPT -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
$IPT -P FORWARD DROP
$IPT -t nat -P PREROUTING ACCEPT
$IPT -t nat -P POSTROUTING ACCEPT
$IPT -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
$IPT -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
$IPT -A INPUT -p UDP -i $INTIF --dport 67 --sport 68 -j ACCEPT
$IPT -A INPUT -p TCP -i $INTIF --dport 445 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
$IPT -A INPUT -p UDP -i $INTIF --dport 445 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
$IPT -A INPUT -p TCP -i $INTIF --dport 137:139 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
$IPT -A INPUT -p UDP -i $INTIF --dport 137:139 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
$IPT -A INPUT -m limit --limit 3/minute --limit-burst 3 \
-j LOG --log-prefix "INPUT DROP: "
$IPT -A FORWARD -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
$IPT -A FORWARD -i $INTIF -o $EXTIF -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
$IPT -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $EXTIF -j MASQUERADE
this way any packet that doesn't match any of the rules will get logged right before it runs into the policy of DROP you've set...
Ah...thanks a bunch! I'll try that when I get home. Quick question, what does "-m limit --limit 3/minute --limit-burst 3"? What does it do? Thanks again for your help!

it limits the number of packets that will be matched (for logging in this case) by the rule... this is usually done in LOG rules to control the amount of logging done, so for example if some IP rapidly scans fifty thousand ports on your box your log file won't get flooded by that... you can tweak the values to your liking of course...
from "man iptables":
Quote:
limit
This module matches at a limited rate using a token bucket filter. A
rule using this extension will match until this limit is reached
(unless the `!' flag is used). It can be used in combination with the
LOG target to give limited logging, for example.
Quote:
--limit-burst number
Maximum initial number of packets to match: this number gets
recharged by one every time the limit specified above is not
reached, up to this number; the default is 5.
if you don't wanna limit then a plain LOG rule will do:

Hey there...I just tried what you asked me to do, but no luck. I'm not getting any droped logs on /var/log/messages. What I'm doing wrong???
