Hello all, i moved here in search of better luck, ive been booted from the only other forum here where people talk.
ok..so here is my inital question..
Quote:
Do I need an IP tables front-end (such as shorewall) to communicate between 3 bridged interfaces?
I have bridged (or at least i think I have) 3 of my network interfaces.
?? should 3 bridged interfaces pass packets to each other???
I am trying to create my first firewall...sofar i can get the NICs to pass information from one to another within the system.
??any help?? im beginning to think im not doing anything wrong at all...(with the bridging) other than not looking at a larger picture...

Now ive done some furthur R&D, and I feel like iiiimmm sssssssooooo close to making my firewall work.
however, i still have the same problem. I cant ping from one interface to another.
the PHYSCIAL ROUTE my of my pinging....
My latop --> router ---->my linux firewall--->the other side(s)
i have three interfaces, does anyone see what im talking about?
so i know i can setup shorewall correctly, pretty sure... and no go
ive tried bridging, i dont even think it worked, maybe im just a little lost... anyone wanna point me in the correct direction at least?
My configuration ---->
ubuntu server 6.06 - oldskool PIII 700mhz, its a crap machine, but it WOULD work as a firewall just fine (if i can get it to work)
3 interfaces:
interface/zone
eth0/inet
eth1/dmz
eth2/enet
ipforwarding & packet forwarding is enabled
shorewall is NOT installed and configured --- my question was answered, i dont need an iptables front end to make the interfaces pass information from one to another
