OK - I did that (can't believe I missed that...) :-/

However, now I have something else weird happening. I can successfully ping out to hosts that are on my "public" network (our /26 net that the ISP gives us.) However, I can't seem to get past the router, and the tracert looks weird:

C:\>tracert -d 207.157.9.151

Tracing route to 207.157.9.151 over a maximum of 30 hops

  1    <1 ms    <1 ms    <1 ms  10.227.1.1
  2     1 ms     1 ms     1 ms  10.200.227.1
  3     3 ms     3 ms     3 ms  10.1.2.41
  4     4 ms     4 ms     4 ms  207.157.9.151

I never see either interface that is in the firewall/NAT box. It goes straight from the router that is at the core (10.1.2.41) to the "public" address on our subnet. Weird.

Hello all,

This question will undoubtedly get me branded as a n00b :-) but I am about to go insane trying to figure this out. Am I doing something wrong?

Here's the scenario:

I have a RedHat 8 (Kernel 2.4-18) firewall that I am going to run squid on, as well as do some static NATting for some of the administrative PC's here. I have configured the Cisco router to direct all the traffic from the affected /24 subnet to the linux box, and I am trying to do a 1-to-1 NAT so we can do things like Terminal Services, etc. across the internet. I am using the following commands (the addresses are for my PC)

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.227.101.4 -j SNAT --to 207.157.9.<something> iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -s 207.157.9.<something> -j DNAT --to 10.227.101.4

Change the -s to -d on the PREROUTING rule.

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d 207.157.9.X -j DNAT --to 10.227.101.4 iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.227.101.4 -j SNAT --to 207.157.9.X

And all the traffic summarily dies at the firewall :-)

I have aliased the 207.157.9.<something> address to the eth1 interface of the firewall. What simple, obvious thing have I missed?

TIA,

--Greg
