Wow looks like I missed some fun at the install fest..I was hoping someone could me with a little problem I am having with IP Masquerade....

I have a little TCP/IP network with 3 machines

Redhat 5.2 original kernel - 192.168.1.1
Win98 - 192.168.1.2
Win95 - 192.168.1.3
Subnet - 255.255.255.0

I have the Linux box setup to masquarade using

ipfwadm -F -p deny
ipfwadm -F -a masquerade -S 192.168.1.1/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0

Everything I have tried works pretty well....I can check e-mail and go to most web sites....but thats the hitch...I can't get to some websites and others are extremely slow on the windows machines..(ie www.pacbell.net---I want a DSL line:>). If I go to the web sites on the Linux box theres no problems....

I am very linux dumb..I just read howto's most of the time...so if anyone can help or offer another solution that would be great..

things I have considered but don't know if they will make a difference
Upgrade kernel and use IP Chains?
Firewall software other than the kernel provided functions?
Forget those websites?

TIA

Adam
