Mandrake 8.2 - NAT, conntrack, & H323


Has anyone gotten Mandrake 8.2 or some other more recent 2.4 based 'desktop firendly' distro to work with H323 NAT/Masquerading? I mean full support. Incoming & Outgoing?

Thanks,

don't bother with distro proving firewall
goto
www.linuxguruz.org/iptables, and copy/adjust one of the firewalls for your needs

I don't get it. How does that solve the original request for assistance?

I've tried it with MDK 8.0. From mandrake Control Center. Was working correctly, but I prefer the rules I write myself

What did you have to do to get it working in Mandrake 8.0?

Incoming and outgoing calls, with the MDK 8.0 machine, or with a machine masqed from behind the MDK 8.0 machine?

Yes actually I have. I've been trying to get both masqed incoming & outgoing H323 calls to work in some linux or another since RH 6.2. I've typically gotten outgoing to work, but I actually need incoming and outgoing, preferrably without portfw (but I really don't see how that's possible) or with portfw to mutliple internal LAN machines.

You can do this with Winblow's ICS, but with linux it's just not been possible, or at least, I've not been able to. I'm even not against a little kernel & kernel module recompiling, but ideally it would work 'out of the box' like Winblows.

I throught it was a generic kernel, but it looks as it wasn't. You've got 2 options:
1) newnat patch from http://www.roeder.goe.net/~koepi/newnat.html and kernel recompilation
or
2) OpenH323 from http://www.openh323.org/code.html

Actually the way I see it I have 4 options:

3) Use Mandrake 8.0 instead of 8.2, cause it works in 8.0

4) Question the 'decision' to add something this cool in 8.0, but then drop it in 8.2 and/or post bug report to the their bugzilla about the 'loss'.

To be honest I never got around to trying Mandrake 8.0... And I had never heard of it working in 8.0 If I had I would have probably moved to it long ago (shortly after it was released)

Currently I use RH6.2 cause I've got a lot of time invested in it and to this point I hadn't had too many compelling reasons to upgrade. But recently I've seen that the PPPoE has gone 'gold' in 2.4, and if Mandrake 8.0 has a working h323 masq, then I may have what I've been waiting for and a more than compelling reason to 'pitch' RH6.2.

Better not install 8.0. Not because it's bad. I install many patches/updates etc into my kernels and I sometimes I don't know where I installed what. It may be this case.

Ahh... So it may not have been 'plain' Mandrake 8.0, but an modified Kernel that you ran.

Even so... At least I know it works. That's better than I'd been at to this point. I was beginning to loose heart that linux would ever be able to do what Windows can do now. Perhaps there is hope after all.

I'm a programmer, so compiling the kernel, et all doesn't bother me as much as it would most people. But most of my skills are from my Day Job - which is Microsoft. I would like to improve my skills in Linux.

Thanks for the 'extended' chat.

George
