    Question Routing in Debian

    Hi, All.

    I'm trying to configure routing via iptables on Debian Sarge 3.1r0. Client computers are on WinXP Pro SP2.
    Used a shell script from http://www.linuxforum.com/linux_tutorials/89/1.php:

    But its not working...

    Having 2 interfaces:
    eth0 for LAN 10.0.0.0/24
    eth1 for Internet connection 192.168.0.1

    Also installed DHCP server, which works Okay(giving IPs, netmask - 255.255.255.254, gateway - 10.0.0.45 - server IP).

    DNS server is installed(BIND), but probably doesn't work(added forwarders directive to named.conf with IPs of ISP DNSs).


    Q1: Where the problem can be?
    Q2: If I'm setting some rules via iptables, should I restart any service? inetd?

    NAT rules

    Code:
    echo -n "Create rules for POSTROUTING chain (nat): "
    $IPT -t nat -A POSTROUTING --out-interface ppp0 -j MASQUERADE
    echo "done.";


    This is my only rule to do transparent natting.

    You should also setup DNS server to forward DNS requests... but this is another trouble!
    Try to ping an external IP... if everything goes well you should only setup your DNS.
    When using Windows, have you ever told "Ehi... do your business?"
