Hey guys.. I've got a problem (heh, its not like its a first or anything)... I'm trying to learn about firewalling and such. I've got a new 2.2-beta box running here with this config: 2.2-beta (downloaded Friday, jan 3rd) AMD 5x86/133 16 megs ram PCI SVGA card PCI NE2000 card (RTL8029 based) as ed2 ISA NE2000 card (RTL8019 based) as ed1 (0x300 / irq 5) IDE HDD runs Squid 1.1.2 proxy. I originally had it on the PCI NE2000 only. Worked great for the last few days. I scored a new network card on saturday and the additional BNC network (ph33r 10-base-2 - its not cool) accessories to have two complete networks. Since I currently have my C-block as one large network (one /24), so I decided to just configure the new ISA ethernet card to 10.0.0.1 on a /8 network just for grins... Well, it all came up fine.. I stuck my win95 box on the 10.x.x.x network as 10.0.0.2 (with proper subnet) and it came up fine for me to telnet 10.0.0.1, and I configured my browser to use 10.0.0.1 as the proxy, and I was able to surf the net (nice firewall, eh?). But, I thought having "ip forwarding" turned on I should be seeing the rest of my network (ability to telnet my portmaster from 10.0.0.2 to 206.136.25.1)... I crank gated 3.5b3 (from the packages), configured to be routed 'like' (just rip, no frills). soon as I load it (as root from the command line) everything is cool... but, after around 3-5 minutes, it goes *b3wm* and suddenly all my sessions to the 206.136.25.x (from 10.0.0.2) go down or hang... I can still access 10.0.0.1, from 10.0.0.2, and my other boxes can still see 206.136.25.20 (the box I was using as the 'router'). Gated reports the network interfaces are "down"... I kill gated and restart and it comes right back up to go down in 3-5 minutes... Its rather annoying.. I know this isn't normal but I have no idea on what could be causing it. The physical network appears to be tight.. the other systems are not effected, I just basically lose my link between the inferfaces. I'm pondering playing with my lin00ks box and seeing if it does the same thing. I'd rather not play with my 2.1.5-release box as its old and crusty and I know if I touched it, it'd just fail and make me look like a fool...
