okay, i was told by the list administrator my mails were being blocked =
by their spam filters because of the word securities.  i have a little =
more info now though.  here is what happens when i try to ping from the =
firewalling box after it stops routing packets to my desktop machine.

root:/home/dan# ping www.oop.com

    This is actually a problem ive been having since later than the =
2.4.0-test9 kernel, but im trying to upgrade my kernel and im having a =
problem.=20
    Here are my stats:
    iptables v1.2.2
    kernel 2.4.7
    and here is my rc.firewall
    #!/bin/bash

    OBEWAN=3D192.168.0.1
    JARJAR=3D<removed for securities sake> #its the public address

    # set up masquerading for everything not destined to the localnets
     iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -d ! 192.168.0.0/22 -j MASQUERADE

    # only forward packages for our subnets
    # iptables -A FORWARD -s 192.168.0.0/22 -j ACCEPT
    # iptables -A FORWARD -d 192.168.0.0/22 -j ACCEPT
    # iptables -A FORWARD -j DROP

    #battle comm
    iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -p udp -d JARJAR --dport 2300:2400 -j =
DNAT --to $OBEWAN
    iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -p tcp -d JARJAR --dport 2300:2400 -j =
DNAT --to $OBEWAN
    iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -p tcp -d JARJAR --dport 47624 -j DNAT =
--to $OBEWAN:47624

    # enable forwarding
     echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

    As i said, it works fine for my 2.4.0-test9 kernel, but with my new =
2.4.7 kernel, it works for a little while and then slows down but never =
completely dies, but gets close enough.  this was a common problem in =
ipchains, but i cant impliment the solutions for ipchanis because the =
options in the kernel i need to disable dont exist.  is this the same =
problem people were having with ipchains or is this a new one?  either =
way, i need help badly and any suggestions ( especially the necessary =
kernel options ) are welcome.

    thanks,
    dan
