First off with iptables say you have a number of public ip's and you want to do a static nat between an inside host and one of the public address's, is it nessisary to make alias's on your iptables box's interface for all the outside addresses you are using? ----------------------- I also have an old box here I am putting slackware on, and I am getting an error while installing lilo to the MBR. It does not write to the disk. I am setting up grub now just to try something else also. DOS was previously booting off it fine, syslinux works also. It will allow me ro install it on hda1 however it wont boot off that. Anyone know a way around this? Warning: boot record relocation is necessary: /dev/hda Added linux * Fatal: LILO internal error: Would overwrite Partition Table Thanks -- Entelin
