Firestarter problem - cannot access adobe.com and others
Hi all,

We're using Firestarter on Ubuntu (so much easier than Squid + iptables) and everything's working great except for the fact that we cannot access www DOT adobe DOT com

Strangely, forums DOT adobe DOT com is fine.

There is another website we cannot access - www DOT silchester DOT rdg DOT ac DOT uk

Both websites work fine when we use a machine which is not behind the Firestarter machine.

This morning I just noticed that both the adobe and silchester websites both have IP addresses which begin with 192.x and I'm pretty certain that this has got something to do with it.

Here's a snippet from an iptables output... is this the culprit? And if so, how can I change it to be 192.168.x.x instead of 192.x.x.x

Quote:
273 29906 INBOUND all -- eth1 * 0.0.0.0/0 192.168.1.223
0 0 INBOUND all -- eth1 * 0.0.0.0/0 62.49.124.4
4 916 INBOUND all -- eth1 * 0.0.0.0/0 192.255.255.255
Let me know if you need any more info.


EDIT: annoying forum software won't let me post links, although in this instance I have no choice. Ah hence the incredibly stupid URLS above

It has been a long time since i looked at firestarter. Never used it myself.
Is there an option for your subnet mask in firestarter? IF so what is it?

Change your mask on eth1 to 255.255.255.0 if you are using only 192.168.1.*, then they should work.
