Hi,
can anyone tell me why my firewall script is not working correctly.
Everything is fine but I can not access the internet from my private
lan. I have a dmz and seperate trusted private lan multihomed on the
firewall box connected to the internet via a dsl connection. The
external interface card is aliased with real ip addresses and dnat'ed
through to the dmz. The box runs linux redhat 7.2 and I am using
iptables (userspace) as my packet filter. I have looked at this for a
while but am now at a loss for further testing. The strange thing is
that windows clients on the private lan have internet access ok but
when I try to connect a linux client to the internet via the private
lan it does not work. Does the static route table have to be set up as
normal on the private lan box ? i.e. add host, networks and default
gateway - if so should I be able to ping the dsl router via the
firewall ?

 
I have included my firewall script :

#!/bin/sh
# rc.DMZ.firewall - DMZ IP Firewall script for Linux 2.4.x and
iptables
