Dan,
Thanks for the reply. The client is a laptop running Windows XP Home
EditionI'. Server is a tower running Gentoo 2006.1, shorewall 3.0.8.
The client is setup as follows:
IP address: 192.168.1.2
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
DNS: 192.168.1.1
I've changed my /etc/conf.d/net to:
# Interface Handler
modules=( "ifconfig" )
# eth0 (WAN) config
config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
# eth1 (LAN) config
config_eth1=( "192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255" )
Amongst many other things, shorewall dump shows:
Shorewall has detected the following iptables/netfilter capabilities:
NAT: Available
Packet Mangling: Available
Multi-port Match: Available
Extended Multi-port Match: Available
Connection Tracking Match: Available
Packet Type Match: Available
Policy Match: Available
Physdev Match: Not available
IP range Match: Available
Recent Match: Available
Owner Match: Available
Ipset Match: Not available
CONNMARK Target: Not available
Connmark Match: Available
Raw Table: Available
CLASSIFY Target: Available
FORWARD Mangle Chain: Available
So, I think I have all that I need compiled into my kernel (2.6.19-r1). I'll
be home in a bit, and I'll get on the Windows computer and run ipconfig and
route to find out what the IP info and routing table looks like on the
client and post that.
Thanks again for your help.
