IP Masq and Cable Modem

[Daniel Szalay <DSzalay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well it worked once...

I setup IP Masquerading as per the HOWTO, manually ran the rc.firewall
script and it worked! I was able to surf, FTP and Telnet from my
workstation, thru my RH 7.0 Server and out to the internet via my cable
modem. So, I added the following line to the rc.local file
"/etc/rc.d/rc.firewall". I then rebooted the server to make sure it would
start automatically and KABOOM, it now does not work. If I try to ping a
host (on the internet) from my workstation, I get the usual "Request timed
out" error. At the server I have no problem getting out.

I've tried everything, manually ran the script, tried the suggestions in
the HOWTO, looked thru the IP Masquerade Mailing List Archives, etc with no
luck. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm kind of thinking something is being
set during bootup that is preventing masquerading from working.

It worked once, it will work again!

Thanks for the time
Dan
