Home Networking Question

[Nelson Garcia]

Are the two entries below from your script in the correct sequence?

## Masquerade all internal IP's going outside
$IPCHAINS -A forward -s $INTERNALNET -d $REMOTENET -j MASQ

## Set Default rule on MASQ chain to Deny
$IPCHAINS -P forward DENY

In my firewall script, I have the default policy first.

Nelson,

	Please see the note I just posted to Warren regarding the ip forwarding
question you have.  It is there in the masquerading section.

	Also, I do have two DNS server IP address entries listed in the Windows
networking seup boxes.  These IP addresses are the same ones I use in my
Linux
box for my ISP.

Thanks,

Ben
