Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] no NAT from newbie

Hi Heiko,

>did you configure the firewall as the default router on the XP box?
I think the answer is that XP intrinsically defaults to the LAN connection..

To be more precise I'll explain:
I connect via CAT-5 from the XP machine to the DL box.
The XP machine has no trouble when I put the CAT-5 into a router connected
to my  cable modem.

WORKS without Devil:
  XP <--> router <--> cable modem

DHCP &  ping DL work, but not ping yahoo.com with
 XP <--> DL <--> router <--> cable modem

I'm not using a null modem CAT-5 between XP & DL, but the XP hardware
adjusts. I have the same behavior if I put a hub between XP & DL.

>Can you ping the firewall from the XP box?
Yes, as above,  ping DL or more specifically
ping 192.168.1.254
works.

Thanks,
Chip
