Cannot communicate outside my network
 
I have a strange problem. Hopefully someone can help!!!

I am running Slackware 2.4.19. I am using IP Masquerading, and IP Masquerading works great from any machine in my network. Can SSH to my Linux box from inside OR outside my network with no problem (although for some reason it connects rather slow - It takes about 20-30 seconds after putting in my password to get to a prompt - but thats a whole other story). The only thing that is WEIRD is that I cannot connect to the internet DIRECTLY from my Linux machine (the IP masquerading machine). I can ping all of my internal network, but I cannot ping any IP addresses outside my network. I also cannot seem to FTP outside my network from there, OR even go to any websites using LYNX. The crazy thing is that all of my computers connected to this run perfect inside and outside the network, and also I can SSH to my Linux box....

All in all HEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks in advance!

Please send your route result and your firewalling (masquerading) script.

HERE IT IS!
 
Here it is, but BE ADVISED, I tried flushing all IPTABLES, and having no rules, and it still did not seem to work. My internal IP address is 192.168.0.1 (Linux Machine)

Could you post your route result, too?

Milkman00 09-25-2002 02:49 PM

Result
 
What do you mean by result?

When I run that script it runs error free. When I try to use my Linux machine to communicate outside my network, it just times out.

Mara 09-25-2002 03:06 PM

Just type
route
as root and copy the result you get.

Milkman00 09-25-2002 03:14 PM

Ok - sorry about that - I am a newbie :)

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
localnet * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
24.92.168.0 * 255.255.248.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
default 24.92.168.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1

Those 24.92 addresses, I am not sure what they are supposed to represent, but they do not look like anything familiar...

Mara 09-25-2002 03:24 PM

One more thing: result of ifconfig, the same as with route, just
ifconfig

Milkman00 09-25-2002 03:27 PM

Ifconfig
 
OK - Here is my ifconfig. WITH one exception. I didn't want to give my IP address out to the world, so I am replacing it with a bogus IP address. If you need to refer to it, just refer to it by the number I put in. You should still get the idea :)

the 24.92 is your outbound interface, that is your real IP on the internet

somewhere down the road, it isn't forwarding the requests correctly. on your client behind the firewall, what does the routing table look like? your default gateway should be the interal IP address of the firewall

so on the client machines do a
netstat -nr

you said clients inside on the local net CAN ping the firewall?

Milkman00 09-25-2002 03:34 PM

The real IP in both places is not my real IP, it is wrong. I can ping my internal machines from my firewall, and I can ping my firewall from the internal machines.

Mara 09-25-2002 03:35 PM

Hmm, not sure, but try to delete the rule
24.92.168.0 * 255.255.248.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
I suppose you don't need it (the 'default' one does a very similar thing).

Milkman00 09-25-2002 03:36 PM

How would I do that, and how did that rule get there?

Mara 09-25-2002 03:43 PM

route del 24.92.168.0
I don't know how it got there, it depend on the method used to configure your machine. And i'm still not sure if it can help you. But try it.

Milkman00 09-25-2002 03:44 PM

Didn't work...
