hi, I have little network with linux firewall in local network that is look like this : linux box -------------- |-------- Internet | | little nework | -----------| eth0 eth1|--------------------------| clients | | |------- -------------| | |------- I work with 2.0.36 kernel ,compiled with all firewall's options . I run ifconfig up for both NIC's ,and I can telnet/ping from the local network to the linux computer,and from the linux to the internet,but I can't ping from the local net to the internet. I don't know why the linux don't forward the request's outside I run: 1) ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 // create loopback interface route add -host 127.0.0.1 lo ifconfig eth1 .... up //eth1 interface ifconfig eth0 .... up //eth0 interface 2)some data: /sbin/ipfwadm -I -l : IP firewall input rules, default policy: accept type prot source destination ports acc tcp anywhere localhost any -> http /sbin/ipfwadm -F -l : IP firewall forward rules, default policy: accept -Do you have any idea what's is the problem?? thanks, Moshe Cohen mcc@Cm236-ntw.cs.technion.ac.il

I am sorry to say this to you but you, Yoni, are the one who was impolite. Not Gilad. You are the one who wasted the time of the subscribers of the Linux-IL mailing list with your newbie questions. The Linux-IL FAQ and other resources provide the E-mail addresses of some volunteers who would have been glad to help you in private, if you asked them in private your questions. They volunteered to field your newbie questions so that the other list members won't have to waste their time reading your questions. If you were not sufficiently polite and considrate to spend your own time looking for those volunteers before barging into the list itself and wasting the time of the other list members, then you deserve whatever you get. If you found it to be difficult or impossible to look for those volunteers (pointing out shortcomings of the FAQ or the Web site) then it would have been fair and proper for you to post a message to the list about your difficulties in locating those volunteers (with details of where you looked for volunteers). Such a message would have informed us what we have to improve in the FAQ and the Web site in order to help better polite&considrate newbies. But instead of such a constructive action, you post a newbie question to the Linux-IL mailing list and then whine about the treatment you got from other members.

Gilad is not God, but he expressed an opinion with which several other Linux-IL members (including me) agree. Even those who disagree now, would with time see the truth of Gilad's opinion and come to agree with it - as they see more and more examples of newbie questions (like your questions) and realize how repetitive and time-wasting are those questions. > > So you see, my dear "Biggo", I said what I said with (some) authority.

Maybe, if they were not newbie problems. Trouble is that your problems were newbie problems. Even if you were not sure if they are newbie or professional level, you should have first asked a volunteer and only if he could't help you, then it would have been proper for you to the list itself. > > Just take into account that for list such as this to have any value, the > > noise to data ratio must be below a certain level, after which the list is > > useless.

This "elitist" policy was formed after long experience with other Internet mailing lists. We realized early on the game that there are newbies, who need to be given helping hand. We organized so that they will receive the help, which they need without disturbing more than one or two "elitist" "veteran" volunteers. If you did not take advantage of this organization, then it is your own error. Go jerk off your impotent organ, loser! > Yes I'm new here, If thats the spirit (which I havnt discovered since > today), > I would proudly say "You're making me sick, arogant bastards". > But from my point of view this is not. > (if it does please tell me and I'll unsubscribe in a jiffy) The rules of the list were formulated, among other things, to allow newbies to be helped with minimum of time waste of the old timers. If you prefer not to follow those rules and thus make nuisance of yourself, then it's just too bad. Go jerk off your impotent organ, loser! > then I guess this list is a flame list! > forget newbie's questions annoying you, lets make war! > get over it man. Once each few months we have such a flame war with a newbie whiner. This time it was your turn, Yoni, to be that newbie whiner. You are not the first to invent this kind of complaint. Neither will you be the last, I am afraid. --- Omer WARNING: By sending me unsolicited commercial/political/religious/MailPush E-mail message/s (known also as "spam"), you irrevocably agree to pay me US$500.- (plus any legal expenses incurred by my trying to collect the amount due) per unsolicited commercial/political/ religious/MailPush E-mail message - for the service of receiving it.
