Routing problems
 

I'm running FC2 on a hp proliant server. This server has 2 network interfaces eth0 (for local network - has dhcp) and eth1 (for connecting to internet via a VSAT router). I have iptables configured for firewall and masquerading and the server runs dhcp on eth0. All has been well until a few days ago that clients cannot connect to external mail servers yet the server can connect to them. What could be the problem? When I attempt to telnet ports 25 or 110 from the client machines I get the error:

C:\>telnet pop.africaonline.co.ke 25
Connecting To pop.africaonline.co.ke...Could not open a connection to host on port 25 : Connect failed

I include my iptables and dhcp configuration:

dhcpd.conf:

look for the services status.

#chkconfig --list telnet

if this ervice is off and you want to change this service:

chkconfig telnet on
