hi there..

I hope You have done the basic things required for Natting.. Just the gateway u have metioned on your server... -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE (note ppp0/eth0 depends on tyhe connection type you have) -A FORWARD -s 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -d 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -s ! 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 -j DROP

for ur windows problem just check wht gateway address to have mentioned there ... and also mention the same DNS in it ..the one u mentioned on your server..

its should work... If it doesnt just refer to RedHat 9.0 Bible... Chapter Connecting to Internet... it will guide you..prefectly...

Enjoy Networking. milo

Hi All

I an trying to share internet access using NAT. On the server side I have set ip_forward to 1 and added MASQUERADE in iptables script. And on the client side I have configured server ip as gateway and using same dns servers as specified on the server. But when I do tracert (windows client) it just hits gateway machine and get Request Timed Out. SOS.
