Re: IP-MASQUERADE

[Charles Esson <charlese cvs com au>]

HI

I had calderalinux working with IP Masquerade but the harddisk crashed
so I am replacing with Redhat 5.2.

And I must say redhat has come a long way in 12 months, most impressed.

I can't get IP-MASQUERADEING working is my problem:

I have:
        /etc/sysconfig/network
                NETWORK=YES
                FORWARD_IP4=TRUE
                GATEWAY=

I think a un-set GATEWAY entry is ok as PPP sets a gateway route when it
starts.

I think my problem is the loading of the modules.


Under the caldera version I recompiled the kernel and added the code to
/etc/rc.d/rc.local as suggested in the Linux IP-Masquerade mini howto.

I am not so sure this is the way it should be done under redhat 5.2. I
get the feeling the modules are somewhere waiting for the magic command
to get things going.

Is there anyone who has done this and who can point me to a document or
offer suggestions on the right way to go about it.

Thanking anyone who can help in advance.
