[Nelug] Mandrake 9.0 - Internet connection sharing - Shorewall firewall

Sun Jan 5 15:42:00 UTC 2003

Andy.
No DHCP is not running.  I have set it with static addresses.  I got mixed up 
on the DHCP as to what programms were to be put on which computer.  Server 
side and client.   Also Mandrake has some changes to make when using it, so I 
thought static was best and easy.  I can ping the public address that you 
gave me too.
I think it is to do with masq too, I'll just have to get to grips with it.   I 
was going to take the firewall out all together and just try setting up 
iptables manually from the console.  That way I'll learn more. PERHAPS and 
PERHAPS NOT.  

I'll follow up with looking at the addresses passed to me from Johng

ONE DAY it will work
Just need the time now
Thanks to all, for now
Malcolm
