Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I have been having trouble forwarding packets using iptables on my |
| 4 |
Gentoo box. I am no iptables expert. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I connect to the internet using rp-pppoe. I use firestarter for |
| 7 |
firewalling. Yesterday I installed VMware and chose host only |
| 8 |
networking between the VMs. vmnet0 was bound to 192.168.128.1 and the |
| 9 |
rest of the subnet being 192.168.128.0/24. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
As should be obvious by now, I need to forward packets from ppp0 to |
| 12 |
vmnet0 and allow outbound packets as well. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
I chose vmnet0 to be the adaptor connected to my LAN and enabled |
| 15 |
Internet Connection Sharing in Firestarter. I could ping my virtual |
| 16 |
hosts and do ssh and telnet, but I couldn't access the internet from |
| 17 |
those hosts. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
I also tried the Gentoo Home Router Guide. But to no avail. I still |
| 20 |
couldn't have the hosts access the internet. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
I have had this problem with actual physical LAN too. I haven't been |
| 23 |
able to allow any of the LAN hosts to connect to the internet through |
| 24 |
my Gentoo box. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Could someone help me? |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Thank you. |
