Thanks for the link, I was starting to go crazy with ipchains. I read the HOWTO IP Masquerading doc, the relevant sections a couple red hat books, man pages, the red hat website support forums, ...everything. I can get ip masquerading to work, it just looses 48% of my packets!!! So the connection I get is pretty close to worthless. This only happens when I add the ip masquerading rule to my firewall. Upgrading with up2date right now, I hope this takes care of it. On the plus side, I learned a lot about other aspects of Linux in the process, so the time isn't completely wasted. (I must keep reminding myself of that) Thanks, David > -----Original Message----- > From: tclug-list-admin at mn-linux.org > [mailto:tclug-list-admin at mn-linux.org]On Behalf Of James Spinti > Sent: Thursday, November 15, 2001 3:18 PM > To: Tclug-List > Subject: [TCLUG] iptables > > > Just got this.
