There are several things you should check assuming your Linux ipmasq box already have proper connection to the Internet and your LAN: • Make sure you have the necessary features and modules are compiled and loaded. See earlier sections for detail. • Check /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes and make sure you have the minimal requirement for the network tools installed. • Make sure you have enabled IP forwarding. Try running echo “1” > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward. • You should use ipfwadm to manipulate ipmasq and firewalling rules. You need to patch the 2.0.x kernels to use ipchains. • Go through all setup and configuration again! A lot of time it’s just a typo or a stupid mistake you oversee.
