Here is what I have, a SPARC 5 running Debian Woody, 2.2 kernel since the 2.4 is not stable, and a single NIC. I have Alias the NIC for two addresses. This box is an internal router for a small network. The interfaces file looks like: # /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8) # The loopback interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian installation # (network, broadcast and gateway are optional) auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 auto eth0:1 iface eth0:1 inet static address 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.225.0 network 10.0.0.0 broadcast 10.0.0.255 I am trying to setup some IPChains to do the routing. I have tried the following: ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQ ipchains -A input -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d 0.0.0.0/0 -j ACCEPT ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d 10.0.0.1 -j ACCEPT ipchains -A output -s 192.168.0.0/24 -d 0.0.0.0/0 -j ACCEPT ipchains -A output -s 10.0.0.1 -d 10.0.0.254 -j ACCEPT ipchains -A input -s 10.0.0.1 -d 0.0.0.0/0 -j ACCEPT ipchains -A forward -s 10.0.0.1 -d 10.0.0.254 -j ACCEPT All I can do is ping the interface card. I can use either address, 192.168.1.1 or 10.0.0.1, but I can not ping the DSL router on the other side of the box, 10.0.0.254. What am I missing to get IPChains to route on this single NIC? I have IPChains version: 1.3.10, 1-Sep-2000 and Kernel version: Linux Router 2.2.20 #1 Fri Nov 16 15:48:02 EST 2001 sparc unknown. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? David
